Shortly after the release of Conan Exiles, Funcom discusses plans for the future of the game. Conan Exiles is set to receive new content, including a DLC. However, the community has mixed feelings about the DLC.
A DLC for Conan Exiles comes in June: Funcom mentioned in its first quarter 2018 financial report that new content for Conan Exiles is on the way. According to reports, Conan Exiles will receive bug fixes and “Quality of Life” updates, new features and functionality, and DLC packs in the coming months.
The new features will generally be free. However, it is still unclear how the DLC will be structured. Nevertheless, the DLC is expected to be released this coming June.
The DLC brings “optional content”
The most significant gameplay changes will likely come in the free updates that everyone will receive. The DLCs are expected to contain “optional content.” Funcom has not yet revealed what exactly this entails.
The community suspects new cosmetic items and settings. Some players hope for new options in character creation. Others think there could be new materials or a new look for buildings.
These would be innovations that would likely please players on PS4 and Xbox One. PC players already have access to a wide database of mods through Steam. Options such as different character options are already available as mods.
ARK as a Negative Example
The community is divided: Reactions to the DLC have been mixed in the official forum so far. Many players are excited about new content and are satisfied with what Funcom has already accomplished. They trust that the company will make the right decisions.
Others fear that Conan Exiles might take a path similar to ARK. They are concerned that Funcom prefers to sell new content rather than fix existing bugs. Players are particularly unsettled that the DLC is set to be released so early. They hope that the DLC will not include features that should have already been present in the finished game.
