Conan Exiles Goes Free For The Weekend And Gets A Huge Island DLC
Funcom has announced the largest addition to Conan Exiles, the Isle of Siptah. The expansion will be available next week and is available for free on Steam this weekend.
The events of the add-on will unfold on the huge island of Siptah, full of ancient ruins, sunny beaches, and dense forests. An ominous dark tower rises in the center of it, and a magical storm rages around. A hero who finds himself there after a shipwreck must not only survive in a new place but also try to turn it into his territory.
The addon will offer the following innovations :
- a new type of dungeons – ancient halls (Vaults) with puzzles and “terrifying creatures”. For the exploration of the labyrinths, valuable loot is awarded;
- storm (The Maelstrom), bringing monsters from the Outer Nether. For defeating them, you can get a new resource;
- witchcraft emissions (The Surges), with the help of which creatures and people from the main map get to the island. They can be enslaved and included in your army;
- new mount – rhino;
- two sets of building blocks – with shipwrecks and storm glass;
- new types of opponents, including celestial octopuses.The Isle of Siptah will be released on Steam Early Access on September 15th. The final version will be released in early 2021 on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. The developers will tell you more about the add-on during the live broadcast, which will take place today at 18:00 Moscow time on Twitch.
The “Free Weekend” promotion started yesterday and will run until 20:00 Moscow time on September 14th. Until September 21, the standard edition of the game is offered with a 65% discount (for 314 rubles).
Conan Exiles launched on Steam Early Access in early 2017, and became available in full version on May 8, 2018, on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. By the time of the final release, the game had sold over a million copies. Subsequently, the PlayStation Plus giveaway and several “Free Weekends” on Steam grew its user base by several million. It is the most successful Funcom game to date. In the Valve store, the project has collected over 38 thousand reviews, which are generally characterized as “mostly positive”.
The Norwegian company is currently working on a massively multiplayer game in Frank Herbert’s universe, Dune. It will be released in a few years. The plans include the creation of two more projects within the framework of the same franchise.
