Get Ready for the Sacred Hunt in Age of War – Chapter 4!

Greetings Exiles!

On April 2, we unleash the beast that is Age of War – Chapter 4, bringing a new level of brutality to Conan Exiles.

Get ready for expanded purges, fatalities, a new Battle Pass progression system, a new siege weapon, and a brand-new event. Teeth will chip, claws will tear, and blood will flow!


[h2]Public Beta [/h2]

Get a taste of the savagery you can expect in Chapter 4 in our public Beta, available right now on Steam. Keep in mind that it’s an early build and everything is a work in progress. Your bug reports and feedback have a huge impact, thank you!

[h2]Chapter 4 Features [/h2]

In previous Chapters we have been laying foundations on which to build new kinds of content. In Chapter 4, you will see the first payoff from this.

The Sacred Hunt Event – Beasts stir in the shadows as gods walk the land. Sensing a sacred reckoning, hunters are roused to prowl the night, attacking the unwary. This new event brings a new story, hub location, great enemies to fell, and more.

Expanded Purges – More and more eyes, filled with avarice, turn to your home, bringing new kinds of threats, including foul sorcerers, lock-picking thieves, and more. As the threats amass outside your walls, your defenses rise to meet them with the new ballista.

Fatalities – Brutality returns to Conan Exiles! Finish off dazed enemies in a variety of gloriously gory cinematic animations. Dismemberment is not optional.

Improved Battle Pass Progression – Based on community feedback, we are improving how Battle Pass experience is earned. Firstly, there will be fewer challenges, but they will be bigger and more involved. On top of these bigger chunks of XP, you will progress at a steady rate from most activities you perform while playing, to avoid the feeling that you need to play a certain way to progress.

On March 8, at 17:00 CET / 11:00 ET, Join Associate Game Director Dennis Douthett and Lead Community Managers Andy Benditt and Nicole Rasner as they show off some of the new features in Chapter 4. You can catch the stream on our Twitch and Youtube channels.

Developer Livestream: Age of War – Chapter 4

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.

Our First Dune: Awakening Direct Just Dropped!

Greetings Exiles,

As you may already know, we have several pots cooking here at Funcom. While our dedicated Conan Exiles Team has been working on new updates, we’d like to give you a peek at what's simmering under the lid of the brand-new game our other team has been working on, Dune: Awakening.


We just released our first ever Dune: Awakening Direct, a major showcase of the game, hosted by the amazing Soe Gschwind! If our next take on Survival MMO on Arrakis piques your interest, we urge you to head over and watch it. There’s a game trailer, a seven-minute featurette, and an interview with our Creative Director, Joel Bylos.

Share Your Thoughts in Our Player Survey

Greetings Exiles!

As we always say, your feedback is extremely important to us, and we’re always looking to improve our ways of making sure it’s heard.

As the team works hard on what’s coming in 2024, we want to hear your thoughts on Chapter 3.



We read as much online feedback as we can across all our channels, but player surveys are a great framework to get opinions on specific topics, while also getting feedback from people who do not usually leave comments.

Your thoughts genuinely make a difference to the ongoing development of Conan Exiles, so if you want us to hear you loud and clear, please take a few minutes to go through our player survey:

[h2]TAKE THE SURVEY[/h2]

We plan on doing many more surveys like this and are excited to see the results.

Slay and Survive, Exiles
