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:




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 the board, meaning you’ll be able to perform a full combo with two-handed weapons with only 100 Stamina. Stamina Regeneration delays and the ‘Exhausted’ state return with similar values from before some of these changes:

• StaminaRegenerationTime = 3.75
  
• StaminaExhaustionTime = 3.75
  
• StaminaOnConsumeRegenPause = 1.3
  
• StaminaOnExhaustionRegenPause = 2.75
  
• Restored the Exhausted state when you run out of stamina.

A compass has been added! The new Wayfinder feat allows you to craft a compass; as long as you have it in your inventory, a new heading indicator will appear next to your temperature gauges under your health bar.

Companions: Liu Fei’s PvP prowess is being addressed and is no longer functionally invulnerable. Freya’s woes with hogs are also bieng addressed.

Crash fixes for various situations.

Building hammer placement preview should consistently snap to buildings.

There’s a ton more in this update, and for the full list of changes, read on here:

Greetings everyone,

If you haven’t run naked across the scorching deserts of Conan Exiles’ starting area, have you really lived? Let your friends in on the secret to a short and brutal life by letting them know the Spring Sale is here with the largest discounts to date on Conan Exiles and all DLCs.

• Conan Exiles : 90% off
  
• DLC and Isle of Siptah: 30% off

In addition to this, the Conan Exiles x Nightingale bundle just went live, letting you get both games at an additional 10% discount. If you own either of the games, you'll still enjoy the discount on the other if you get the bundle.

https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/51115/Conan_Exiles__Nightingale/

Nightingale, like Conan Exiles, is an open world survival crafting game. It’s currently in Early Access and has just released a new update, so it’s a great time to become a Realmwalker and dive into its mystical world.

Slay and Survive, Exiles

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 crafted, simply keep it in your inventory and you'll see a new heading indicator next to your temperature.
  
  We’re also looking at fixes for issues with companions, living settlements, building placement, and more! Also important to note: there is not a Public Beta this time around, but we may run them again for a future release.
  
  That’s all for now; thanks for reading and see you on March 25!

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 thralls can now also be used by players after the thrall leaves.
  
• If a player logs out while resting in a bed or sarcophagus, getting out will no longer break the player's functionality.
  
• Friendly Fire multiplier no longer affects fall damage.

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.

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 makes it seven years following the games’ debut in early access! It’s hard to believe it’s been so long, but it’s been an incredible journey and you've been the best companions we could’ve asked for!

In June, Bounty Hunting made a return, added to the game as an event to appear at certain intervals.

In October, Age of Heroes began, adding two hero companions to the game and adding more life to our bases with living settlements.

Last but not least, we were amazed by your creations in the Summer Retreat Building and Yogtober Village contests.

Throughout the year, we’ve also brought many quality-of-life changes, ranging from finding cages in the Exiled Lands as an alternative to using truncheons, letting your followers survive brutal attacks with the down-but-not-out feature, quick- stacking items with a button, and more.

Of course, this was all possible thanks to our amazing community of players, modders, content creators, and of course, server admins. If you have not already done so, make sure to check our Community Letter!

Now, let’s talk about the journey in front of us. . .

Conan Exiles was not actually intended to be a "game as a service" when we developed and first released it into Early Access in 2017. We hoped to recoup the costs of development and make enough money for our next project. Instead, it became the biggest success in Funcom's history. With so much interest from the community, we continued building on it for the next seven years. We released many DLCs, major updates and the Isle of Siptah expansion. Aiming for an even longer-term goal in mind, we released Age of Sorcery in 2021, setting out on a new path to deliver content to everyone free of charge at a more regular cadence than before.

Over time, keeping up with this ambitious release plan has become increasingly difficult. Conan Exiles development is complex because we must balance new development with the need to address long-standing issues brought on by years of expanding a game that was never built for it. Technical debt is inevitable in all game development. We've accumulated quite a bit with Conan Exiles due to how the game was initially built and expanded over time.

This led to a shift in the feedback we received from you, which went from requesting new content to addressing stability and bugs. Not surprising, because we've seen issues come up that just shouldn't happen. While we did our best to address them, introducing new features and tackling the accumulation of issues eventually proved unviable.

Therefore, we’ve taken the decision to hold off on developing new content and features while we focus on improving the game from a technical and quality-of-life standpoint. At this point, we believe we need to put more focus into making the game better, not just bigger.

Our goal for the next update is to start focusing on resolving bugs and increasing stability. We will release this update in spring 2025 and give you more insight into what to expect as we get closer to release. This update will be a key step in addressing the game's core issues and laying a stable foundation for the future.

As part of this, we also want to hear more from you. Your feedback and bug reports have always helped identify what we need to examine, and we have a list of things we want to tackle for the next update. That said, we will continue to listen to you on all our channels and we’d like to hear your opinions.


We’re making these changes with the long-term health of the game and its community in mind. Thank you for your understanding, patience, and trust as we move forward together to create a more stable and rewarding experience for all Exiles.

Here’s to Conan Exiles in 2025!

Sincerely,

Rodney W. Harper
Project Director, Conan Exiles

As community managers of these great lands, Andy and Caroll would like to say a few words:

Man, what a year it’s been, huh? It’s never a dull moment in the Exiled Lands and 2024 certainly lived up to that. We closed out Age of War with its fourth and final chapter, heralded the beast lord, and quenched his thirst for blood. Conan Exiles turned 6 (well, technically 7 if you count Early Access launch, which I also fondly remember), we got to partner up with Save the Children and Tiltify to raise over $15,000 for charity, hung out with some rad folks at the Neebs Gaming anniversary event, Launched Age of Heroes, and I turned 40. What is time, anyway?

I’m thrilled to have Caroll on the team and in the trenches with us; I don’t know many people who know Conan Exiles better than she does, and she’s already been hitting the ground running with a bunch of new initiatives and more down the pipe. Keep an eye out on her, Exiles - she’s a rockstar.

Now, Conan Exiles also had its ups and downs this year and we’ll be the first to say we know some things weren’t where they needed to be, and we’re all still working hard to really make things right. I’m excited for what's around the corner in 2025 and we hope you will be too once we’re able to go into more.

Here’s to surviving 2024, and may the coming year be kind to you all. Thanks, Exiles.

Exiles, I may have just met you as a CM in August, but I have been in Funcom for over 4 years now. And in the Exiled Lands since 2017, with over 7k hours - probably more but who’s counting?!
For me, the best days on the job are the days I get to chat with you! When we share memories we have made on Exiles since Early Access. When we discuss which building sets work best together, whether on the Exiled Lands or Isle of Siptah. All of our conversations are what keep me motivated and committed to doing my best for you!

Conan Exiles is still my favorite game of all time, and it wouldn't be without the wonderful people I've met along the way. Whether on official or private servers, the forums, Discord, Twitch, or any other channel, I've always found incredible groups of people who have stuck together through the worst times and cheered vividly on the best ones. Sitting in a tavern learning each other's stories or dancing in an RP party, Exiles has it all and it's my home!

Unfortunately, this year has had some difficult moments for us all. The pain of losing a follower you've relied on and grown with is hard. Seeing a new feature that was promised years ago, that we were so excited about, and that we had been anticipating for so long, being disabled was tough. But if you're reading this letter, it means you've stuck with us through it all, and for that, I'm very grateful.

Let’s raise a glass in our taverns for 2024 and wish for a greater future for our lovely and brave community! Cheers, Exiles!


You achieved and endured so much this year! May 2025 bring even greater tales and adventures!

We will share more news in our end-of-year Producer's Letter next month.

Happy holidays Exiles, and here’s hoping for a brighter 2025!
