Get ready for the adventure of a lifetime with the new Companions!

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!

[h2]Companions [/h2]
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, challenges, and quests! You will take the lead in some of the quests, but there will be parts of this story you will write together with your new companions, as they follow or guide you into completing what’s needed to reach their goal.

Each companion has their own demons to contend with. You, the exile, must decide if your sweat and blood are expendable to help these strangers in need.
Although companions are still balanced in tune with existing followers, new powers, abilities, and perks will accompany them.


Be mindful of your actions as your choices will shape their future. As followers, companions will have perks that shape their abilities. Which will be unique to their skill set based on who they are and what their story is about.

By the end of their story, your companion can develop differently from another depending on your choices and actions. Once you recruit them, you can inspect their perks to learn exactly what moment from your journey together made them set on that perk and how those abilities will present when facing battle. Each companion has a total of six possible perks, although they will only be able to learn 3 through your interactions. Your companion could end up with a completely different set of perks than another brought in by a clan member. You may have multiple companions of the same character with distinct arrangements of perks. It’s up to you to progress through the quests for each additional one you aspire to recruit.

Another addition to the companions is the expansion of the lore. As you transverse the Lands, they will voice their memories, share details about specific locations, and enrich the experience of exploring the world. All of that is done with fully voiced dialogues, accompanied by subtitles that are localized in all languages available in Conan Exiles. Free them of their burden and travel together to learn where they have been and what memories they cherish or despise.

[h3]Liu Fei [/h3]
This chapter introduces you to Liu Fei, a mysterious sorcerer trapped somewhere among humanoid grey apes. But hey, what harm can there be in helping a sorcerer?


Follow his call. Listen carefully to his stories and decide if you are willing to take the risk of wielding your sword or casting incantations in his name.

[h3]Freya [/h3]
Reacquaint yourself with the wolfish Aesir warrior: Freya! She is waiting for a hero who will listen to her mournful chants and help her to get back on her feet as the fierce hunter that we all know and admire. Find her at a high peak surrounding the Northern Aqueduct.


A bloodthirsty desire for revenge is the setting for this adventure and it’s up to you to lead or be guided by this warrior! The way you handle the end of your sword will determine what traits of her strength will flourish the most.

Explore, Exile! Find Liu Fei and Freya and aid them until you obtain their trust. They'll come equipped with new perks and abilities that could prove to be a useful addition to your troops. That is... if you are capable of the greatest feat of gaining their loyalty first.

Age of Heroes Chapter One is coming in October with companions, improvements, and new cosmetic items on the Black Lotus Bazaar!

The Age of Heroes is Coming to Conan Exiles!

From the ashes of war a new age is born. An Age of Heroes.

Greetings Exiles,

We’re thrilled to announce that in October, The Age of Heroes will begin.

The Age of War brought with it a long list of brand-new features and content, such as a complete Purge revamp, improved loot, the Siege of al-Merayah, the Tavern system, and Fatalities.

The Age of Heroes will bring even more. When we think of Conan the Barbarian, we must not forget the memorable characters that the Cimmerian encounters on his many journeys. These heroes, legends in their own right, come from all walks of life and excel at various skills. This is the aspect of Conan’s universe that underpins the Age of Heroes.



The focus on improving the depth and interactivity of companions and followers aims to make the world feel more alive and reactive. We’ll go into more detail on the various features we’re planning to add at a later date.

[h2]Walk The Path of Heroes [/h2]

In Chapter 1, releasing in October, we will add Companions for the first time. These two fully voiced and fleshed out characters have their own unique progression path and epic story for you to experience alongside them.

The second major feature in Chapter 1 is Living Settlements, which breathes life into all the thralls in your base with realistic behavior. They will visit your tavern, eat, sleep, interact with those around them, and more.

The following Chapters in the Age of Heroes will bring additional Companions, events, and general follower updates.



As we’ve previously announced, we’re now including an additional smaller update between each Chapter, adding various activities and rewards. Furthermore, we have retired the Battle Pass, with those working on it being distributed across all other areas of the game.

[h2]Join the Steam Beta[/h2]

Join the open Beta August 22 to try the new content. Simply search for the “Conan Exiles – Public Beta Client” in your Steam library and download the game. This testing build will be updated as new content comes in. Your feedback is always massively appreciated.

Keep your eyes open for more news as we approach the Age of Heroes launch in October.
