Greetings Exiles,

Conan Exiles Enhanced is officially live on Steam, bringing the most dramatic visual and technical overhaul the survival hit has seen since its launch eight years ago.

Funcom, working in partnership with Inflexion Games, has released the upgrade as a free download for all current and future Steam owners.

Arriving just ahead of the game’s May 8 anniversary, the Enhanced edition is a gift to the millions of Conan Exiles players around the world.

A Modernized Conan Exiles

The upgrade moves the entire game into Unreal Engine 5, unifying eight years of post‑launch content and giving the world of Conan a sweeping visual refresh. Players jumping in today will see:

• Sharply improved environments, character models, lighting, and effects

• A redesigned UI and numerous quality‑of‑life upgrades

• Performance targeting 60+ FPS across all graphical presets on most PCs

• Strong Steam Deck performance for portable survival

Two Maps Become One World

For the first time, players can freely travel between The Exiled Lands and The Isle of Siptah (the latter still sold separately). The two massive regions are now integrated and connected, eliminating the need to choose a map at character creation or start over to explore both.

Multiplayer servers can host both regions simultaneously, dramatically expanding the playable space for communities that own the Siptah expansion.

A Survival Staple Reinvented

Since its 2018 debut, Conan Exiles has become one of the most recognizable survival games on the market, set in the brutal universe inspired by Robert E. Howard’s Conan the Barbarian. Funcom frames the Enhanced edition as a celebration of the game’s longevity.

Conan Exiles Enhanced is out now as a free upgrade for all Steam players.

Read the full patch notes here and check out the FAQ (https://www.conanexiles.com/blog/conan-exiles-enhanced-is-a-massive-free-upgrade-arriving-may-5th/).

Greetings Exiles,

We have a quick hotfix that re-enables character transfers on Steam.

Changes

• Character Transfers have been re-enabled on Steam.

• Players of Isle of Siptah and Exiled Lands alike can prepare for the upgrade to the Enhanced version by transferring their characters to different servers, including private servers, if they so choose. Read more about the Enhanced version and all the changes it will bring on our blog.

Bug Fixes

• All thralls, pets and mounts followers that disappeared after doing a character transfer should be restored upon logging into the server.

Greetings, Exiles!

The new update has arrived in the Exiled Lands! Featuring fixes, tweaks, and quality-of-life improvements, today’s patch focuses on smoothing out your adventures - whether you’re crafting, building, or delving into the arcane.

Let’s take a quick look at some of the changes, and you can find the full patch notes below.

Building & Crafting Improvements

Construction just got easier. Your follower will now supply materials directly while you build with the Construction Hammer, no more over encumbered stumbling around your base. Crafting stations can also pull needed resources straight from your inventory, making the whole process much more streamlined.

Sorcery Enhancements

Sorcery sees a wide range of upgrades this update. Casting with the Arcane Staff is faster, early spells no longer require reagents, and Tome of Kurak progression has been smoothed out. Sorcerer thralls also offer new efficiency bonuses at the Sacrificial Stone, making your ascent into the dark arts more rewarding than ever. New rituals have been added as well, allowing you to summon entities such as the Traitor of Blood or the enigmatic It That Hunts, with powerful benefits for those brave enough to perform the rites.

Thrall Trading Arrives

A new Thrall Trader knowledge is now available, letting you construct selling stations for human followers, animals, and even golems. Whether you're clearing out excess workers or looking for new ways to earn gold, this system opens fresh opportunities in the Exiled Lands’ bustling economy.

Purge Adjustments & Stability Fixes

We’ve made several improvements to Purge spawning behavior and landclaim detection, addressing issues where Forward Operating Bases could appear in the wrong place. A variety of crash fixes and stability tweaks are also included to help your adventures run more smoothly.

New items added to the Bazaar

These will be released on a rotating schedule, so be sure to check back regularly and grab your favorites as they appear!

There’s plenty more to discover in today’s update!

As we’ve continued our work on Conan Exiles this year and focusing on the overall health of the game, we'd also like to provide an update on the direction we're taking future updates.

We previously talked about making Conan Exiles better and not just bigger. We’ve seen this decision resonate with many of you as well. As part of that effort, we are moving away from the Age and Chapter structure which was about making the game bigger. We will continue to work on fixing long-standing bugs, make tweaks to existing content and add more quality of life changes to the game.

The new update is out now! Featuring fixes and tweaks of all scopes and size, we’re focusing on improving your overall experience in the Exiled Lands. Let’s go over some highlights of today’s update, and for the full patch notes, click here or below:

March Update Full Patch Notes

The Stygian Legion have abandoned their stronghold within the Exiled Lands, and the Dogs of the Desert have reclaimed the Ruins of al-Merayah. This means the keep is gone, and the area has been refitted back to being a Dogs of the Desert NPC camp. The Jhebbal Sag cave shrine linked to The Sacred Hunt is still intact and available.

_al-Merayah was a consistent source of performance and stability concerns, so we made the decision to raze the keep and return it to being a Dogs of the Desert camp. _

Stamina received adjustments, with the aim of meeting in the middle with feedback about stamina costs being too high. The cost of attacks is being halved across the board, meaning you’ll be able to perform a full combo with two-handed weapons with only 100 Stamina. Stamina Regeneration delays and the ‘Exhausted’ state return with similar values from before some of these changes:

•  StaminaRegenerationTime = 3.75
  

•  StaminaExhaustionTime = 3.75
  

•  StaminaOnConsumeRegenPause = 1.3
  

•  StaminaOnExhaustionRegenPause = 2.75
  

•  Restored the Exhausted state when you run out of stamina.
  

A compass has been added! The new Wayfinder feat allows you to craft a compass; as long as you have it in your inventory, a new heading indicator will appear next to your temperature gauges under your health bar.

Companions: Liu Fei’s PvP prowess is being addressed and is no longer functionally invulnerable. Freya’s woes with hogs are also bieng addressed.

Crash fixes for various situations.

Building hammer placement preview should consistently snap to buildings.

•  Unconscious enemy thralls no longer disappear when assigning one to be converted in a wheel of pain.

Embark on new exciting quests with two new Companions, transform your base into a living settlement full of workers and warriors, and more!

Now, witness the consequences of taking everything from a warrior of the Aesir, and leaving them alive. This is Freya, one of the Companions who will join you.

Patch Highlights

In this first Chapter of the Age of Heroes, meet Liu Fei, the Khitan sorcerer, and Freya, the Aesir warrior. Embark on each of their epic questlines to gain their loyalty as a permanent Companion. These fully voiced characters will each gain perks unique to them based on your actions during their story.

The time has come, Exile. Lead these heroes through the blaze of corruption and vengeance – to glory!

Today, all of your worker thralls are transformed into living, breathing people. No longer mere items in your inventory, workers will now also go about their business in your base, socializing and meeting needs like sleep, hunger, and rest. Don’t worry, their duties will still be tended to, even when away from their crafting table.

When danger is present, some succumb to panic and flee, while others will stand and protect their leader. They are the lifeblood of your settlement.

This is a major overhaul that comes with many quality-of-life improvements, new UI, knock-on effects, and other details, so make sure to check out in the patch notes below.

Along with these two major features, today’s update brings a slew of bug fixes and improvements. We are aware of a persistent issue causing some players to fall through foundations or die suddenly. We will continue to investigate this and will fix it as soon as possible. Thank you to everyone for their reports and patience while the team finds the solution.
