Conan Exiles Update: Age of Heroes - New Companions & Settlements

This brings massive new features to the game, including fully voiced companions, living settlements and extensive system overhauls. The update, which further expands the successful open-world survival sandbox, starts with the first chapter of the new season.

No more fighting alone - fully voiced companions

For the first time in Conan Exiles, you can have companions by your side. Two fully voiced characters are ready to not only accompany your journeys, but also bring their own epic questlines and objectives: Freya, an Aesir warrior, and Liu Fei, a Khitan wizard. Each companion has unique benefits based on your choices during their quests. More companions will be added to the game in future chapters.

Living settlements - A new level of immersion

With the Age of Heroes, Conan Exiles is more alive than ever before. Your worker slaves, previously static figures, now become interactive NPCs with their own needs. They work, rest, sleep, eat and interact with each other - all within your settlement. This innovation brings an unparalleled sense of immersion and life to your base.

In addition, a tavern system has been introduced, giving you the chance to relax after a tough adventure. Settlements are no longer quiet places, but vibrant communities.

Revised game mechanics and systems

In addition to the new features, Funcom has also thoroughly overhauled existing systems. The purge system in particular has been redesigned, creating exciting, dynamic challenges. The loot system has also been adapted to make the rewards even more appealing.

Funcom also promises numerous quality of life improvements in the game, including a revised user interface, bug fixes and many small changes to improve the gaming experience.

Conclusion: A new era for Conan Exiles

With the Age of Heroes, Conan Exiles is getting a makeover that will improve the game experience for veterans and newcomers alike. The combination of new companions, living settlements and revised systems makes for a more exciting and immersive survival experience. It will be exciting to see what heroes and stories the upcoming chapters of this season have in store.

Conan Exiles is available now for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox X|S, Xbox One and Xbox Game Pass.
