Conan "Endowment Slider" Exiles leaves Early Access in May 2018

In five months, Conan Exiles officially launches on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on May 8, 2018. It entered Steam Early Access in January of this year. In that time, this fictional prehistoric survival sim started in the dusty Exiled Lands, but has since added The Frozen North expansion to the map. The trailer also glimpses the upcoming volcano and jungle biomes.

My early access preview of Conan Exiles is now 10 months old. I'm sure the bone structure of the game is still the same, but I'm also sure that a lot has changed. Ten months is a lifetime in video game development. Well, not if you're one of those survival sims perpetually stuck in a beta state (cough, DayZ, cough, Rust, cough, 7 Days to Die).

On the other hand, for Conan Exiles, it's also important not to overestimate what can change or improve within five months. Is PvE still thin and buggy? We'll see. I'll poke my head back in there this week and have a look-see. Hopefully I'm still not a 12-year-old and I don't get stuck on the penis- and boob-slider character creation screen for too long. I mean, it could happen. I could get stuck there.

Again, Conan Exiles is coming out of Early Access and launching on May 8, 2018. We'll see if, by then, people are still interested in gathering sticks and stones to build stuff and beat each other to death. Seems like a genre that isn't going away, though.

“Early Access and Game Preview has been an absolutely invaluable tool for us in developing Conan Exiles,” says Creative Director Joel Bylos. “Being able to get direct feedback from players has allowed us to focus our work on improvements, bug fixes, and new content. We still have a few months to go and are by no means done squashing bugs and making improvements. We’re working hard on new content and gameplay mechanics – including the new jungle and volcano biomes!”

Conan Exiles entered Early Access on PC on January 31st this year. The game is an open-world survival game set in the brutal lands of Conan the Barbarian. Here players must survive in a savage world, build their kingdom, and dominate their enemies in brutal combat and epic warfare. You start with nothing but your bare hands and forge the legacy of your clan, building anything from a small home to gigantic fortresses and entire cities. Wage war using swords, bows, siege weapons, and even take control of giant avatars of the gods and lay waste to enemy cities. Conan Exiles can be experienced in both local single-player and in persistent online multiplayer.
