Kargos carved his red legend in the gladiatorial pits of the World Eaters, where he also earned his 'Bloodspitter' moniker. After the Legion's fall to Khorne's service, the former apothecary began a journey to true barbarism, relinquishing his medic tools forever.

🎉 The wait is over! 🎮 Dive into the horror of "Goodbye Dr. Sanchez" TODAY! 😱 Join forces with a partner, explore twisted domains, and outsmart the evil that lurks within. Get ready for cooperative gaming experience. Let the nightmare begin!

I am about to release a new content update on the beta branch this summer with 5 first levels of the new Cave environment. This level with the Spider Queen will be included, and will be the third one of World 3.
The only last thing I need to push the update is a name for our dear 8 legged lady.

In a recent tweet I asked for name ideas and honestly it was a blast to read your nice suggestions. As I did for previous NPCs, I created a poll to help me make a decision and I would like you to make a choice following your preferences.

Level design-wise you start this level like other ones with a NPC. Once dialog ends, your quest starts. You have to help the Spider Queen reach the end of the Cave by toggling on/off red and blue blocks. If Spider Queen is not on the ground, she will spread a spider web and will stay in the air safely. Jump on her back to make her walk again. That's the main mechanic you'll have to deal with in the whole level, plus ofcourse a few extra secret areas.

Please, make sure to enter your vote before July 10, 2023:

Talk to you later,

Greetings Exiles,

In only a few days, the cries of the dying will rend the air. Will you join them, or live to fight another day?

We hope you enjoyed last week's Combat Design deep dive by our Lead Designer Dennis. Today, we leap into two new features coming in the first chapter of the Age of War – Clan Hoards and Clan Emblems.


If you've dreamed of building a vault and filling it with treasure that you've found on your adventures, then we have good news, because that's exactly what this is! As you explore the world, you will now have a chance of finding treasure in chests and on the bodies of vanquished enemies in the form of coins or other valuable objects.


To designate an area for your hoard, you must craft a Treasure Coffer and place it within your base. This will create a circle within which you can place your treasure. Your personal treasurer, who stands next to the Coffer, will tally up your total hoard's worth.

Your growing hoard will display in two ways - through piles of coins, and through placeable objects. Most treasure will sit snugly in your inventory space, but not heavy treasures. These exceptional trophies must be lugged back to your base in your hands, through wilderness and enemies.


How will you spend this mighty hoard, you ask? Besides the inherent satisfaction of seeing your base overflowing with gold and hard-earned trophies, you will in later chapters be able to spend your amassed riches on certain... aid. We will share more on this later.

A clan is by no means required to have a hoard. If you prefer to build your own personal vault, on a mountaintop, and let no one lay eyes upon it, under the penalty of death, that's your prerogative. In Conan Exiles, the edge of your weapon makes the rules. Well, that and server settings.


In Chapter 1 of Age of War, you'll be able to create a custom emblem that represents your clan. The emblem can be crafted through the new Clan Emblem Workbench. Here, you can combine a main symbol, based on various cultures, and a background. The color for each of these is also up to you.


Once your emblem is done, you'll be able to display it on armor, shields, banners, and more. Hang your banner at the entry to your clan's base to make it clear who rules here.


Both of these features are designed to be enjoyed as a solo player and in multiplayer. On a PvP server, if you're killed while carrying treasure, another player can pick it up and bring it to their base in their inventory. You can of course also raid another player or clan's base and rob them blind! If you plunder another player or clan’s hoard, you must carry it away in a heavy sack. While doing so, you will move slowly and be unable to defend yourself.


With emblems, clan members and their bases will become immediately identifiable (should they want to be), as they can carry their emblem on their gear and hang it on walls. To increase the social aspect further yet, the default server settings will now show which players are online at all times.

As we stand at the precipice of this new age, we can't wait to see you all take the plunge. And as you experience the tragedy and glory of plunder and war with other clans, do not forget that Stygia is coming...

Age of War, Chapter 1 releases on June 22.

After the last blog post about the upcoming phase of Germany Rework, we’ve seen many questions about whether the popular city of Hamburg will be included in this phase as well. Well, wonder no more as we can officially confirm that Hamburg will receive a completely new look in the 1.48 update for Euro Truck Simulator 2!


Founded in the 9th century, Hamburg quickly became a prominent trading hub due to its advantageous position along the Elbe River and its access to the North Sea. Throughout the centuries, Hamburg flourished as a key member of the Hanseatic League, an influential medieval trading alliance. Its success as a trading center led to economic prosperity and cultural development, attracting merchants and artists from around the world. Today, Hamburg remains a vital economic powerhouse, boasting one of Europe's busiest ports and a thriving maritime industry.









Having paid extra detail to the local port, after rebuilding Hamburg from the ground up, this bustling port city will captivate with its grandeur and magnificence, offering not only an expanded size with an addition of Maschener Kreuz but also a delightful passage over the Köhlbrand Bridge. While our focus primarily lay in embracing the city’s essence, the city has unveiled many new surprises when it comes to landmarks, such as the presence of towers near gas stations, where our dedicated team made pit stops during our small research expedition.







Hamburg concludes the list of German cities that will receive a new look in the upcoming 1.48 update. We are however excited for what the future might bring so remember to keep your eyes on the blog in the future or follow us on social media (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok) to stay in touch with any latest announcements.

Good afternoon everyone,

Today we have some QoL changes to SEHS, with new timetable services, new paths in Scenario Designer as well as PIS Display changes and various fixes/improvements.

Please view our full change list of patch notes below.
These changes will be live from now on all platforms.

• Added new services to the timetable
  - Timetable is ready for Thameslink Class 700 EMU
  - The Kentish Crompton railtour using WSR Class 33 & Spirit of Steam Mk1s
  - The Medway Valley Crompton railtour using WSR Class 33 & Northern Trans-Pennine Mk2s*
  - 1O99 and 1S87 railtours using Northern Trans-Pennine Class 47 & Mk2s
  - Additional steam-hauled seasonal AI only railtour at Strood (Nov/Dec)
  - Additional seasonal static stock throughout the route using various, already in-use addons
  - Tweaked how peak-time Class 465 turnback procedures work at Strood to be more prototypical
  - Total number of playable services should be 710 with all layers activated (including Class 700)
  
• Added new paths for use in Scenario Designer
  - Making better use of more platforms at each station, for example, can now spawn trains at Strood Platform 3
  - Offering more terminating points, for example, St Pancras to Rochester Platform 3
  - Added HS1 paths which go via Ebbsfleet, Stratford, or both via avoiding lines rather than platforms
  - Added freight-specific paths which start at various Hoo Junction lines & Sittingbourne Goods Loop

Please Note: The Medway Valley Crompton railtour has one caveat in order to be correctly drivable; you must briefly go into the lead cab of the rear locomotive and toggle the brakes from Shutdown, into Full Service, and back into Shutdown. This will allow for a proper release of the brakes and without this, you will not be able to move the train.

• Fixed an issue with wagons not loading on 6O47 services.
