Funcom has announced Conan Exiles Enhanced, a free and massive visual overhaul for Conan Exiles. This new Enhanced version will be powered by Unreal Engine 5, and it will be available to all owners of the game on Steam.
Built in Unreal Engine 5, Conan Exiles Enhanced brings eight years of post-launch content into a fully upgraded experience with dramatically improved visuals, enhanced performance, and modern rendering technology. The update revitalizes the brutal world of Conan, delivering a deeper level of immersion for both new players and long-time fans.
Leveraging Unreal Engine 5, the enhanced version targets smooth 60+ FPS gameplay across Low, Medium, High, and Ultra settings on most PCs, while also delivering strong performance on Steam Deck. For the first time ever, players who own the Isle of Siptah expansion will now also be able to travel freely between the Exiled Lands and the Isle of Siptah. The two regions are now merged into one continuous experience, allowing players to fully explore both instead of having to pick one at the start of the game. In multiplayer, any server can now support both maps simultaneously. This massively expands the available play area for those who own the Isle of Siptah expansion.
Chief Creative Officer Joel Bylos said:
“Conan has been the heart of Funcom for nearly two decades, and with the new Enhanced upgrade, Conan Exiles continues to carve its legacy in video games.
We know these upgrades are often sold at a premium or released as a separate, enhanced product, but we wanted to offer this for free to fans past, present, and future, as an anniversary gift and a token of our appreciation for their support. We are so proud of this game and the work our team has put into it over the years, and we want this upgrade to breathe new life and energy into the game for a long time to come.”
CEO, Inflexion Games Aaryn Flynn, also added:
“We’re honored to collaborate with Funcom on upgrading Conan Exiles to Unreal Engine 5. Taking such a beloved game and updating it with new technology, materials and shaders, UI, and a range of quality-of-life (QoL) improvements creates a new foundation for the next decade of adventures for players around the world.”
Conan Exiles Enhanced will be available on May 5th. Below, you can also find its announcement trailer.
