Greetings, Exiles!
A new hotfix has been released. This is a smaller update that addresses issues that were introduced in the March Update. Please watch this space for news on future updates!
Patch Notes:

  • PlayStation: Fixed an issue where players were unable to continue any co-op game if they had active save games on both Exiled Lands and Isle of Siptah
  • Sound in the Dregs Dungeon has been restored
  • Living Settlement thralls now correctly obey “Disable Thrall Use” settings
  • Removed unintended rewards as loot from chests (but keep an eye out in the future!)

Greetings, Exiles!
We hope you’ve all been surviving and dominating 2025. It’s been a little while, and it’s time we gave an update following our commitment from our last Producer’s Letter.
Our next update is coming on March 25 with a ton of fixes and changes, big and small. Before then, though, we wanted to preview and give notices about a few important changes:
  • Based on consistent feedback regarding how it impacts performance, the Stygian Legion is withdrawing from al-Merayah Keep, to be demolished and removed permanently. The Dogs of the Desert have reclaimed the area, drawn to the cave shrine linked to Jhebbal Sag that remains intact.
  • Stamina is getting readjusted, also based on your feedback about stamina costs being too high. We want to meet in the middle - the cost of attacks across the board is being reduced by 50%, but regen is being increased to (mostly) their old values.
  • We’re adding a compass! Unlock the Wayfinder knowledge to learn how to never get lost again. Once crafte...

Greetings Exiles,
A new update is now available, focusing on addressing load times, crashes, and more! Please note that not every bug and issue are created equal, and we’re hard at work on more fixes for the future.
A new Mod Dev Kit version is also available!
Read below for the full changelist:

  • Load times for getting in-game significantly shortened.
  • Fixed various crash bugs (such as at the end of the intro cinematic, continuing a single-player session from the Main Menu, killing unassigned rescued thralls, and more).
  • Fixed various erroneous undermesh kill zones in Exiled Lands and the Isle of Siptah.
  • Unconscious enemy thralls no longer disappear when assigning one to be converted in a wheel of pain.
  • Artisan Tables will now recognize Carpenter Thrall bonuses.
    Fixed Artisan tables so that only smelters and tanners will work at them – in the context of Living Settlements – as these are the only NPCs that actually provide a bonus for this workstation.
  • Chairs used by t...

Exiles,
I want to begin with a hearty “Thank You” for your continued support and dedication to Conan Exiles. Your passion for the Exiled Lands and its community is the driving force behind everything we do. As we look back on 2024, we’re also marching on toward the future, and I want to share some important updates about the road ahead for Exiles.
The Journey So Far Let’s first take a look at what happened in the world of Conan Exiles this year.
In March, the final chapter of Age of War was released, introducing fatalities and the Sacred Hunt event. Many enemies fell to your murderous intents, but many of you have also fallen victim to the followers of Jhebbal Sag.
In April, we partnered with the Save the Children for Exiles Aid, organizing a series of charity fundraisers for a worthy cause. Thanks to Neebs Gaming, our many content creators, and of course you, our amazing community, we managed to raise 15,000 USD!
In May, we celebrated six years since our official launch, which mak... Read more

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!

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

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! Read more
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, challenges, and quests! You will take the lead in so... Read more
Hey there Exiles! We’re excited to send you into your weekends with the winners of the recent Summer Retreat Contest!

Without further 'ado, let’s take a look at the winning entries across Modded and Unmodded categories, as well as some honorable mentions:

Greetings Exiles,
Conan Exiles would not be where it is today without years of valuable feedback. Surveys are a powerful tool for us to better understand who you are and how you feel about different aspects of the game. With Age of War - Chapter 4 well underway, we are turning to you, our valued community, for feedback about your experience.
Click HERE to take the survey![www.surveymonkey.com]
Or, scan the QR code below with your mobile device's camera:
The first survey, which we released after Chapter 3, received over 24000 responses! It provided fascinating insights into what type of players we have in the community and what you all had the most and the least fun with. It also highlighted areas in communication where we can improve, and validated the feedback shared by players, content creators, and community ambassadors.
The survey results are but one source and the insights obtained cannot be used in isolation, as they represent a subset of the global Conan Exiles community. Thei... Read more
Greetings Exiles,
Three weeks ago, we announced our fundraising campaign in collaboration with Save the Children[www.savethechildren.org]. Together with you, our amazing community, we aimed to raise $5,000 for children in need across the globe.
We launched the campaign with our opening livestream, also kicking off our charity auctions for some extra-special items[tiltify.com]: A custom gaming chair from noblechairs[www.noblechairs.com], a keyboard and mouse set from Cherry XTRFY[cherryxtrfy.com], a Conan the Barbarian: Rage of the Undying statue from Sideshow Collectibles[www.sideshow.com] courtesy of Heroic Signatures[heroicsignatures.com], and of course, the custom-made Conan Exiles statue sculpted by Mankej:
Exiles Aid has now concluded, and we are thrilled to announce that with your contributions across auctions and direct gifts, we not only merely reached our $5,000 goal, but absolutely crushed it, totaling an incredible $15,010 by the campaign's end! We are overjoyed and humbled by ... Read more

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.
  • Fixed certain items missing the option to Repair, such as Redeemed Legion armor. Note: You still need to know the recipe for an item in order to repair it, but this should now function properly, as well as within Creative Mod...

  • NPC-owned destructible bases now respawn more consistently

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)
  • Defensive Followers will now properly use weapons
  • Fixed an issue where a player can become invulnerable under specific circumstances
  • Tweaked certain Elephant attacks so that they no longer rotate in unintended ways
  • Siptah: Fixed an attack from a Devolved Goblin that did no damage
  • Fixed an issue where the attacks of the Wine Cellar boss Thag could not be avoided
  • Fixed an issue wher...

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.
A GOOD BOY ON GUARD
Along with their navy, the Zingarans were also renowned for their swordsmanship - specifically, in the art of fencing! You’ll be able to obtain a Zingaran Rapier as a one-hand sword variant, and even a special weapon emote later on!
The Zingaran Mercenary Guard Dog, inspired by the real-world Spanish Mastiff, is an excellent lad and also a pet you ca... Read more
Greetings Exiles!

Amended Patch Notes There were some additional changes to stamina regen, crafting balance, and Official Server harvest rates introduced in Chapter 4 that were not included in the patch notes on release.

Greetings, Exiles! Chapter 3 is reaching its conclusion soon, so today we wanted to go over some things the intrepid exile may want to keep stock of before Chapter 4 releases on April 2nd! That’s tomorrow! You’ll be facing Jhebbal Sag’s Chosen, clashing steel against new foes in Purges, spilling blood with Fatalities, and even progress your Battle Pass more naturally. Let’s dive in:
BE YOU HUNTER OR PREY? The Sacred Hunt is a new limited-time event featuring the beast-god Jhebbal Sag and his champions. You can learn more about this event and the challenges you’ll face HERE!
One thing you’ll need to keep in mind is some of this new content is accessed from *after* the Siege of al-Merayah – if you haven’t stormed the fortress yet, we suggest completing that encounter before Chapter 4 releases so you can experience the new event as it unfolds.
Don’t worry – al-Merayah and its fortress are not going anywhere and will remain in place after Chapter 3 ends.
