When Conan Exiles was released with great success in early 2017, the developers at Funcom boldly promised not to do it like the competitor Ark: Survival Evolved.

Therefore, the launch date for PC, Xbox One, and Playstation 4 has been pushed from the first to the second quarter of 2018. This way, they can ensure that the game is worth playing. For the company Funcom, which has been severely battered in the past, a good start for Conan Exiles depends on a lot.
Conan Exiles has enough publicity meanwhile, not least due to penis jokes at the expense of the new publisher Koch Media.
