Conan Exiles
Conan Exiles is an online multiplayer survival game set in the lands of Conan the Barbarian. Enter a vast, open-world sandbox and play together with friends and strangers as you build your own home or even a shared city. Survive freezing cold temperatures, explore loot-filled dungeons, develop your character from a lowly peasant to a mighty barbarian, and fight to dominate your enemies in epic siege wars. Conan Exiles can be played in full single-player, co-op, or persistent online multiplayer.
What it feels like
The Conan setting and siege warfare imply a harsh, unflinching darkness where brutality and domination are normalized.
What it's about
Set in the mythical lands of Hyboria from Conan the Barbarian, a grim, brutal fantasy world of barbarism and conquest. Enduring hostile environments—freezing temperatures, dungeons filled with threats, hostile players—is the central struggle.
How it plays
Constructing and expanding personal homes and shared settlements is a central loop integral to progression and playstyle. Managing hunger, temperature (freezing cold), and health to stay alive is a core survival mechanic driving moment-to-moment decisions. Gathering materials and combining them into items via recipes is a foundational progression and resource system.
How it looks and sounds
Unreal Engine 5 upgrade delivers stunning high-fidelity visuals aiming for realistic rendering of the Hyberian world.
How it's structured
A vast, continuous open-world sandbox is the foundational setting where players explore, build, and survive across Hyboria. Players set their own goals—building homes, cities, or dominating enemies—with minimal imposed objectives defining the experience. In online mode, a shared world persists and evolves with player actions, settlements, and sieges continuing whether or not any one player is present.
