Funcom has announced CONAN EXILES; a game that challenges players to survive, build and dominate in the brutal world of the greatest fantasy hero of all time: Conan the Barbarian. CONAN Exiles will be available on PC in Early Access this Summer.
Joel Bylos, creative director at Funcom, said:
“There is no better setting for an open-world survival game than the world of Conan. Hyboria is a harsh and unforgiving land where only the strongest can survive while the weak are swiftly cut down. Whether it is hunting animals for food, fighting monsters and other players, or building entire settlements, we want to make sure players feel like they are really fighting to survive and prosper in the most brutal fantasy world ever.”
According to the press release, CONAN EXILES is first and foremost a multiplayer game that can be enjoyed on both private and public servers, but it will also feature a single-player mode.
“You are an exile, one of thousands cast out to fend for themselves in a barbaric wasteland swept in sandstorms and besieged by enemies on every side. Grow crops or hunt animals for food. Harvest resources to build weapons and tools. Build a shelter to survive. Ride across a vast world and explore alone, or band together with other players to build entire settlements and fortified strongholds. Unleash your fury in savage, fast-paced combat and execute bloody and bone-crushing attacks that will see heads rolling and limbs flying. Fight other players to dominate the exiled lands, and even call upon the wrath of the heavens to aid you by sacrificing enemy players on the alters of the gods.”
Fredrik Malmberg, CEO of Conan Properties, added:
“What Funcom is doing with ‘CONAN EXILES’ is capturing the essence of Conan and his world. The fight for survival in Conan’s savage world has been chronicled in comics, movies, and novels, and now you too will get to experience the same struggle to achieve domination over the exiled lands.”

‘Survival’ games are now officially the new WW2/zombie games.
So much tired of this genre already.

Looking good,i hope its not dissapointing when release
Of course it looks good, it’s prerendered CGI.
Funny that, I was just thinking to myself that there isn’t enough poorly optimised perpetually never-end-um on early access open-world survival games on the market.
Sounds like a ball ache of a game.
too bad Conan didn’t spend much time in Cimmeria as an adult.
Thulsa Doom and his Riders of Doom looks like 80’s metal band, awesome. Is it too much to ask for a real Conan game?
I thought AoC did a decent job, no matter what you thought about the game they nailed the lore and atmosphere. I still have vivid memories of questing throughout Cimmeria
Not that much of info…tough liking it till now! Cant wait for more news of it!
