It took a village to scare Yog!

Greetings, mortals! Yog has been on the edge of his tendrils looking over all the haunting entries you submitted for Yogtober, and it truly took a village - and now we’re thrilled to reveal the winners! This spooky building contest was all about crafting the creepiest, most atmospheric village you could imagine; one that could even make Yog himself cower in fear.

A HUGE thank-you to all who submitted; Yogtober wouldn’t have been the same without you!

So, without further ado, here are Yog’s Chosen:

Greetings Exiles!

The wait is almost over! We’re excited to announce that the Age of Heroes will arrive on October 17!

This is the dawn of a new age, and the team has worked hard to make sure this update feels like it. Soon, you will accompany fully voiced heroes as their legend is made, eventually recruiting them as companions to your cause. The unique perks they acquire will depend on your actions in these epic quests.



Living Settlements, the second major feature in Age of Heroes, will breathe life into your base thanks to worker thralls now existing in the world, reacting to their surroundings and living their life.

All of this will come with bug fixes and multiple smaller changes. We can’t wait for you to embark on this new adventure in the Exiled Lands. Only a week to go!

Slay and Survive, Exile!

Greetings Exiles!Gather your swords and shields, for the Age of Heroes is soon upon us, and you will be on a quest for blood and vengeance throughout the Exiled Lands! Prepare your bandages and aloe extracts, for this October will bring more than just the hauntings of Yog.

As the New Age approaches, we are excited to introduce you to another type of accomplice to join you in your barbarian way of life: Companions!

Companions The Gods have heard your pleas. You have asked for a different kind of follower, perhaps even a sorcerer, and they have decided it is time to answer!

Companions are a new type of followers who are not itemized or subjugated into accompanying you. Instead, they will require commitment and dedication in order to perceive you as the hero they can walk behind.

When the Chapter arrives, two such companions will be permanently added to the Exiled Lands. Once you find them, you will be able to embark on new adventures... Read more

May 14, 2024
Forward notice: We are aware of and continuing to investigate an issue where characters may periodically sink into building pieces. Due to the delicate nature of foundations and sensitivity to changes that affect them (if you know, you know 😥), a resolution for this issue will arrive with a future update. Thank you for your patience; we understand it's frustrating.

Bugs and Tweaks
  • Thrall Command and Interact inputs are no longer mapped to the same button as interacting with Battle Pass notifications. The Battle Pass shortcut on Tier Completion popups now opens with the Inventory button.
  • Improved animations for golem movement and combat.
  • Friendly followers have received further 'If not enemy, why enemy shaped' training and no longer attack allied golems.

We overcome hunger, thirst, and the elements in Conan Exiles, but for millions of people across the real world, it is a struggle to contend with daily, and children are among the most vulnerable.

Together, we can combat hunger, but it takes a village - that’s why this year, as part of our sixth anniversary celebration, Funcom is teaming up with Save the Children and Tiltify to launch a charity drive to aid children around the globe! We’re calling upon all Exiles to help give these children a fighting chance.

From April 24th until May 14th, you can donate money directly to the Exiles Aid campaign, stay up to date on auctions of exclusive items - including a custom-made original Conan Exiles statue - and our 6th Launch Anniversary! All the proceeds will go directly to Save the Children.

Here’s how you can get involved:

Age of War Chapter 4 Hotfix (4.11.2024)
General
  • Potion of Midnight is now craftable at a new station located next to the Werehyena who teaches you the recipe. This station is the only station where it can be crafted.
  • Other Werehyena NPCs at the event camp have been properly disciplined and no longer offer the option to speak to you
  • Followers will now properly defend against the Werehyena Ambush
  • Bearer Thrall HP increased to original pre-Chapter 4 values (Dev note: This change is temporary, as we feel the current HP values of Bearer Thralls is too high. This will be revisited after a new feature in a future update)

Greetings Exiles,
Age of War - Chapter 4 is in the wild and the hunt is on! This chapter, we wanted to further explore the styles of the Zingarans and the mercenaries at their employ - so today, let’s take a look at some Zingaran themed rewards included in Age of War - Chapter 4’s Battle Pass!  

 


ZINGARAN MERCENARY
Zingarans are a refined, complex people, and we wanted to reflect the sophistication with which their nobility would adorn sellswords and soldiers. Zingara’s frequent contact with the pirates of the Barachan Isles would also influence their armor and clothing, adding a maritime appearance on top of the pomp.

Greetings Exiles,

With only a few days to go before Age of War – Chapter 4 digs its claws into you, we want to give you a deep dive into everything we’re bringing to the game. Last week, we covered the new Sacred Hunt Event, and today, we have a feast of different features and improvements to show you.

Let's dig in.



Fatalities
If there is glory in gore, you will find it in Chapter 4. In this feature inspired by the Fatalities in Age of Conan, you will be able to finish off enemy human NPCs with spectacularly savage kill moves; one for each of the melee weapon types in the game.

When an attack would otherwise kill your foe, there is a chance that they will instead enter a dazed state. If you perform a starting attack (not mid-combo) on them during this brief period, you will perform a Fatality, and be awarded with a chunk of health and stamina, along with a temporary damage buff.

Three details are worth emphasizing. Fir... Read more

Known Issues
  • Using the Burning Siege Boulder Trebuchet Ammo at the new Luxur Camp on Isle of Siptah may cause a server crash
  • Items may vanish when moving them to the inventory
    * This is due to desync between client and server. Logging out/back in will resolve the missing issues and they will be back where they belong
  • Placing items into Thrall-pet inventories causes them to vanish
    * Resolved, but the fix didn’t make it into the public beta build

    Controller Functionality
  • If disconnected from the server, you will need to close/reopen your client to regain controller functionality
  • The controller will not function/navigate in the thrall equipment panel

Greetings Exiles,

If you defeated the Stygian Commander in the Siege of al-Merayah in Chapter 3, you may think the Age of War has come to a close. But in these lands, the beast of war never quite ceases to stir, and now, something old and hungry awakens.

Join our Associate Game Director Dennis Douthett and Senior Community Managers Andy Benditt and Nicole Rasner on March 8 to discover some of the new features coming in the next major update and Battle Pass.

The Developer Livestream begins 17:00 CET/11:00 EST on March 8 on Twitch and YouTube.

Greetings Exiles:

It’s 2024 and time we looked back at some achievements and challenges for Conan Exiles in 2023. Your ongoing support drives our efforts to develop fresh content for the game. Let’s look back at the year’s highlights and some of the hurdles we’re determined to overcome.

Five Years of Adventure 2023 was a big deal here as we celebrated the 5th Launch Anniversary of Conan Exiles on May 8.

Our journey, including our Steam Early Access launch, now spans over six years – a testament to the game’s enduring appeal and your continued support.



Switching to the Age system back in 2022 was a huge decision, and this... Read more
