Greetings Exiles,
With only a few days to go before Age of War – Chapter 4 digs its claws into you, we want to give you a deep dive into everything we’re bringing to the game. Last week, we covered the new Sacred Hunt Event, and today, we have a feast of different features and improvements to show you.
Let's dig in.
Fatalities
If there is glory in gore, you will find it in Chapter 4. In this feature inspired by the Fatalities in Age of Conan, you will be able to finish off enemy human NPCs with spectacularly savage kill moves; one for each of the melee weapon types in the game.
When an attack would otherwise kill your foe, there is a chance that they will instead enter a dazed state. If you perform a starting attack (not mid-combo) on them during this brief period, you will perform a Fatality, and be awarded with a chunk of health and stamina, along with a temporary damage buff.
Three details are worth emphasizing. First, if you don’t perform the finisher, the enemy will fall dead a... Read more
Known Issues
  • Using the Burning Siege Boulder Trebuchet Ammo at the new Luxur Camp on Isle of Siptah may cause a server crash
  • Items may vanish when moving them to the inventory
    * This is due to desync between client and server. Logging out/back in will resolve the missing issues and they will be back where they belong
  • Placing items into Thrall-pet inventories causes them to vanish
    * Resolved, but the fix didn’t make it into the public beta build
    Controller Functionality
  • If disconnected from the server, you will need to close/reopen your client to regain controller functionality
  • The controller will not function/navigate in the thrall equipment panel
New Additions Seasonal Event: “The Sacred Hunt”
  • Players are ambushed at night by followers of Jhebbal Sag
  • Ambush enemies can drop a Map leading to the new event hub
  • A large beam of light can also be seen shooting into the sky signifying the camps position
  • The hub has a Vendor and Quest NPC to interact with, as well as a crafting table (Altar of...

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. Read more

Greetings Exiles:
It’s 2024 and time we looked back at some achievements and challenges for Conan Exiles in 2023. Your ongoing support drives our efforts to develop fresh content for the game. Let’s look back at the year’s highlights and some of the hurdles we’re determined to overcome.
Five Years of Adventure 2023 was a big deal here as we celebrated the 5th Launch Anniversary of Conan Exiles on May 8. This marked half a decade since we’ve been developing content and playing this game together. Our journey, including our Steam Early Access launch, now spans over six years – a testament to the game’s enduring appeal and your continued support.
Switching to the Age system back in 2022 was a huge decision, and this past year has shown the advantages of constant releases and a regular cadence.
In 2023, we wrapped up Age of Sorcery with its 3rd chapter and released Age of War – Chapter 1 along with its 2nd and 3rd Chapters. You’ve tested your skills against Kurak as well as the Stygian L... Read more



  • Fixed a bug which caused performance issues whenever approaching or logging in near a base

  • Added additional checks to prevent certain crafting to be done without the proper materials

  • War Torn Rubble can no longer be stacked
  • When the surface below it is removed, placed treasure now drops down instead of being destroyed (note: dropped treasure still gets destroyed)

  • Thralls set to guard doors now return to their post after vanquishing interlopers

  • Old copies of Heritance have been reset to match its current design

  • Fixed an issue where rarely a new challenge would not appear after claiming a completed one

  • Fixed an issue which could prevent a character from fighting back if they were attacked while performing certain emotes

  • Players can now access the game menu while controlling an avatar
  • Purchasing unlock of multiple Battle Pass levels now properly refreshes the display

Greetings, Exiles!
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:[forums.funcom.com]
March Update Full Patch Notes[forums.funcom.com]
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 th... Read more
