Exiles!

The Age of War is truly upon us. Blood stains the earth in the name of gold as Stygian war camps sprout like barbed weeds.

Join our lead designer, Dennis Douthett, as he walks you through the new content now available in Age of War - Chapter 2.


Purge Revamp
With today's ground-up revamp of the purge system, purges have become an immersive and replayable challenge with worthwhile rewards. You now also have full control over when and whether to start a purge, as well as its difficulty. Purge battles feel far more meaningful as you defend your clan hoard against waves of Stygian invaders, led by the Hand of War. Defeat him to claim valuable loot and free the camp's prisoners.

Greetings Exiles,

As the Stygian Empire slithers ever deeper into the Exiled Lands, blades quiver in anticipation of spilled blood.

Age of War – Chapter 2 arrives on September 21, with a ground-up revamp of the purge system, improved loot across the entire game, a new Battle Pass, and a bunch of other improvements and bug fixes.

In today’s deep dive into the new purge revamp, we’ll walk you through a purge from start to finish and show you everything you need to know to head into the new update with your weapon swinging.

The Path to a new Purge
For those new to the feature, a purge, currently, is when a group of NPCs attack your base when you reach certain thresholds of activity in the game. In Chapter 2, we’ve completely redesigned and significantly expanded purges.

We’ve had our eyes on this feature for a long time, knowing it didn’t live up to its full potential. But to truly do it justice, we needed more than a single updat... Read more

Greetings Exiles,

Greetings Exiles,

In only a few days, the cries of the dying will rend the air. Will you join them, or live to fight another day?

We hope you enjoyed last week's Combat Design deep dive by our Lead Designer Dennis. Today,... Read more

Hello everyone!

My name is Dennis Douthett, and I’m the Lead Designer for Conan Exiles.

I've spent a lot of my time as Lead Designer collaborating with the community on Discord, showing off new content on Twitch and YouTube, but this is the first time I've worked on a blog post to go with a release. I hope you find this insight interesting, and not too long winded!

The topic today is combat changes coming during the Age of War.

Good Stress
To begin it's important to establish one of the many reasons we find games to be fun. It's the contrast between stress and relief.

When designing games, we look to introduce stress to you by placing challenges in your way. Challenges can be any type of gameplay that blocks your progress: a boss enemy with loot you want, a long wall climb with few resting points along the way, a puzzle that requires observation and timing to unlock a mechanical door. The closer we can stress you to a tipping po... Read more

Greetings Exiles,

As one age ends, another must begin.

The Age of Sorcery has brought us a huge amount of content in less than a year - the sorcery system, building revamp, attributes overhaul, new encounters, golem shaping, new characters and stories, and the Journey System redesign. Yet still our forge hammers ring out as the content furnace burns hot.

An ancient empire has set its hungry eyes on the Exiled Lands.

The invasion is nigh.


On June 22, the Age of War begins as we unleash the first of three major free updates, each of which will be accompanied by a paid Battle Pass and new cosmetic Bazaar store items.

The Road to War
The team is thrilled to reveal our roadmap for the new features and improvements coming in the next Age. Please keep in mind that this roadmap represent... Read more

The release of Age of Sorcery — Chapter 3 approaches swiftly! On March 14 you will prevent a cataclysmic ritual, brave a new boss-dungeon, experience a full journey system overhaul, new Bazaar and Battle Pass cosmetics, and a brand-new feature: Golem Shaping.

Today, we will dive into how you can craft your very own golem to follow you on your adventures. These followers are highly customizable - invaluable gatherers of resources and powerful warriors in battle.

Blood of the Giant Kings
The powerful sorcerer, Mek-Kamoses, has received a vision and has charged you with collecting a mysterious new resource for his ritual: Blood Crystals. When the ancient Giant Kings fell, it is said their blood seeped into the earth, where it remained for aeons, spreading beneath the world through ever-flowing rivers of molten rock.

After eons, the blood has cooled and hardened into crystals. At long last, it rises from the depths, charged ... Read more

The sun bleeds over the Exiled Lands. A strange light spears the sky as the ancient blood of the Giant Kings rises from the earth. Ritual cries shiver in the air to welcome a black dawn.

Greetings, Exiles!

Today, we look at followers, which is going through a major rebalancing and update in Age of Sorcery. These changes come through various new features and improvements, such as the new attributes and perks, new followers gained through sorcery, and changes made directly to all followers.

After the 3.0 update, you will have more diverse choices to shape your character, and one of the major aspects of this is the changes to followers. Whether you tread the dark path of sorcery or not, you can specialize as a leader who sends his loyal warriors into battle. It is up to you whether those warriors are human, demon, or undead.



Balancing
When we looked at the changes we wanted to make to followers, we knew we needed to rebalance them towards choice rather than a necessity. The result is t... Read more

Greetings, Exiles!

Building your character to excel at what you choose is an important aspect of Conan Exiles. Over time, we have noticed that certain attributes and perks are used a lot less than others by players. This is something we have wanted to improve for a while, and Age of Sorcery has been the perfect opportunity to do this.

For Age of Sorcery, we had three goals in revamping the system; one, to majorly rebalance perks and attributes to improve viability across the board; two, to integrate sorcery in a way that suits the fantasy; and three, to introduce an added element of choice in character progression.

It is worth keeping in mind that changes to the attributes and perks have far-reaching effects throughout the game, affecting combat, followers, resource gathering, and so on. In addition to the overhaul we are introducing the option of corrupting your attributes, providing additional perks focused on the twisted nature of sorcery.
