To celebrate the announcement, Funcom have also released a brand new trailer which also offers a glimpse at some of the new content that will make its way to the final version, including an entirely new biome and a new combat system.
“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!”
Check out the trailer below and set a reminder for May 8th if you want some single or multiplayer Conan action.

Development[edit]
The project of the game started in Mongoose Publishing when the British company acquired in 2003 a license for a Conan role-playing game. In December 2003 the first printing was ready and the publication and distribution of the game started in January 2004. This first printing of the core rulebook was published including an illustration map of the Thurian continent during the Hyborian Age, painted by Spanish artist Jesús Barony, but very soon in 2004, in August, a reprint of the first edition was released, subtitled as the Atlantean Edition,[2] and Barony's map was replaced by another one, this time made by the well-known American cartographer Clayton Bunce. Bunce's map was included as an illustration among the pages of the Atlantean Edition rulebook and almost simultaneously released (in a folded poster format) with the Conan gamemaster's screen. A second edition of the game was published in 2007,[3] with numerous supplements compatible with both editions and finally, in 2010, Mongoose dropped the license and stopped the line of all its Conan gaming products.
Translations[edit]
During the game publication's run the Atlantean Edition was translated into Spanish, in Spain, by the Spanish publishing house Edge Entertainment in 2005[4] and into French, in France, by the UbIK editor (based in Toulouse) in 2007.[5] The following year, in September 2008, both editors, the French UbIK and the Spanish Edge Entertainment, folded in a single company, but the French partner moved its headquarters from France to Spain and adopted the Spanish name as Edge Entertainment France.[6]
In addition to the Spanish and French translations, in 2006 the Atlantean Edition was also translated into Italian (as Conan il gioco di ruolo) by the publishing houses Stratelibri and Wyrd Edizioni.
Setting[edit]
The core rulebooks include an important volume of useful information and data dealing with the world of Conan, sourced on Howard's material and literature.
System[edit]
The game's game mechanics is Mongoose's adaptation of the D20 System as licensed by the OGL System.
Character Creation[edit]
The Conan game does not feature non-human races at all. Instead, players choose a race from one of the ethnicities depicted in the fictional world.[7]
