The Conan Exiles site has been updated with a lengthy post to inform players about what the game will look like when it launches and how it will continue to evolve over time. The team has nailed down what will be present at launch and are ready to talk about it.

The latest Conan Exiles newsletter has been published to provide players and fans with a bird’s eye view of what the team has been working on for the past week. In a brief note before each section’s report, the letter informs the community that the roadmap and development milestones for the upcoming launch have been finalized and “that we’re now barreling towards the endgame”. A number of big ticket items are targeting launch including the combat revamp, more items and content too.

If you’ve been less than thrilled with the combat in Conan Exiles, you will be happy to hear that the team has heard you and is nearing feature completion on an overhaul that should arrive on Testlive sometime in February. Funcom will be looking for player feedback during the testing period.

Conan Exiles has been updated with a new patch that “offers both new systems and items” to the game. In addition, the first part of the weather system is now live that brings dynamic weather into play. This includes increasing / decreasing fog levels, thunderstorms, rain, snow, varying wind speeds and more.

Funcom has announced that Conan Exiles will officially leave Early Access and enter into retail release on May 8, 2018. The game is currently in Steam Early Access on PC and on the XBox One Game Preview. The PlayStation 4 version will be arriving next year. Pricing for PC is $40 and for PS4 / XB1 $50. Each game purchased ahead of launch will see players rewarded with Conan’s Royal Armor in game.

Starting next week, the XBox One retail pre-order price for Conan Exiles is going from $35 to $50. The price rise is mostly due to releasing a boxed XBox One version of the game in stores around the world. To keep pricing the same whether digital or retail (with its attendant increased visibility and marketing), the price is going up. However, you have a golden opportunity to pre-order the XBox One version $17.50 this week thanks to a 50% off sale Funcom is running.

With the arrival of the latest Conan Exiles weekly newsletter, Funcom fulfills a promise to its players to begin revealing what Team Terraformers has been working on most recently: The new volcano area. However, devs aren’t ready to show off all of it just yet. Starting today and continuing to next week, the team will show off the biome through a series of screenshots.

The latest Conan: Exiles weekly newsletter has been posted with a brief look at some of the things that the team has been working on over the last several days. In addition to the most recent patch update to fix a number of exploits and duping issues, the story team revealed that they’re hard at work on something fittingly “Conan-esque” for an open world game and that it might not be too long before players encounter Conan himself.

The Conan Exiles Twitter page has been updated with a brief post to announce a slight delay in the full release of the game to address “quality and polish we would like to be able to meet before full release”. As a result, the ship date for Conan Exiles has slipped from Q1 2018 to Q2 2018 which provides the team with time up to the end of June to get things in order.
