Funcom’s barbarian survival game Conan Exiles has primarily been about the harsh struggle for survival in the wasteland. However, according to the developers, there will soon be a story featuring even the chief barbarian, Conan himself.
The survival MMO Conan Exiles recently received update 31 on PC. This brought a fix for the latest dupe exploit, new repair tools, new building pieces, and finally the ability to equip your slaves individually through an inventory. Additionally, some of the official servers had to be completely or partially wiped to correct the damage from the dupe exploit.
Furthermore, an update is also coming soon for the Xbox One version of the game to align the console’s features with those of the PC.
But even more exciting is that a story for the barbarian game is currently in development!
Meet Conan in his own game!
Joel Bylos, the creative director of Conan Exiles, is personally working with his team on a story! He wants to come up with something truly “Conan-esque” for the structure and plot of the narrative. Therefore, you can expect an epic story that takes you through the deadly wasteland.
Additionally, according to Bylos, you might even encounter Conan himself on your journey. This would be absolutely fitting, as the grim barbarian saved you from death on the cross at the beginning of the game and then left you alone in the wasteland. It will be exciting to see how the barbarian reacts when he meets you again later.
A new biome, new armor, and improved animals coming soon
In a newsletter, the developers mentioned further planned innovations for Conan Exiles:
- They are currently working on a new biome with a volcano
- The behavior of animals and monsters in the wasteland is set to be improved. The game should feel more realistic and natural.
- The new “Hyrkanian Armor Set” will soon make its way into the game.
Conan Exiles breaks its resolution and stays in Early Access longer than initially announced.
