Conan Exiles' Early Access journey is finally coming to an end with less than one month left until its launch. The game entered its Early Access phase on January 31, 2017 and after over a year, it's time to leave the stretched beta tests as we are getting close to May 8th. During that time, Funcom has managed to increase the size of the map, add new features and systems with hundreds of new items.
“We wanted to make sure leaving Early Access is something more than just removing the Early Access label and saying we’re done," Funcom CEO Rui Casais explained in an accompanying press release. "Besides being the first time it’s available on PlayStation 4, the launch of Conan Exiles brings with it a massive expansion of the game world, game-changing new features such as monster invasions known as the purge and an entirely new action-oriented combat system, as well as many other major additions that truly makes this the ultimate vision of Conan Exiles. If you were ever on the fence, or you are just discovering it for the first time, May 8th is the time to join the adventure.”
The developer also promises that the MMORPG will be much bigger, much better and much deeper when it finally releases. Be sure to watch the gameplay "
launch countdown" trailer featuring the wage war using swords, bows, siege weapons, simple crafting and building your very own, destructible base, and even taking control of giant avatars of the gods and laying waste to enemy cities down below!
Journey through a vast, seamless world filled with the ruins of ancient civilizations and uncover its dark history and buried secrets as you seek to conquer and dominate the exiled lands yourself.
