### Conan Exiles: A 10-Year Journey and the Upcoming Enhanced Update<\/p>\n

**Introduction**<\/p>\n

\u201cConan Exiles,\u201d a survival game based on the iconic character from Robert E. Howard’s literary universe, has surprisingly remained relevant for a decade. Initially overshadowed by Arnold Schwarzenegger\u2019s portrayal in film adaptations, the game has carved out its own niche within the survival gaming genre. This year, as the game celebrates its fifth anniversary, Funcom has announced a significant update dubbed “Conan Exiles Enhanced,” set to release on May 5th. <\/p>\n

**What\u2019s New in Conan Exiles Enhanced?**<\/p>\n

The most notable feature of the upcoming update is its comprehensive visual overhaul. According to a blog post on Steam, Funcom collaborated with Inflexion Games to implement \u201cdramatically improved visuals, enhanced performance, and cutting-edge rendering technology powered by Unreal Engine 5.\u201d This visual upgrade aims to rejuvenate the game\u2019s aesthetic, delivering a more immersive experience for both new players and veterans alike. Importantly, players will still have the option to experience the game in its previous Unreal Engine 4 version through the Funcom launcher.<\/p>\n

The update also targets a performance enhancement, ensuring that players can achieve 60+ frames per second across various settings\u2014from low to ultra. This is especially beneficial for those who prefer gaming on portable devices, as the update introduces Steam Deck support, promising impressive performance on the platform.<\/p>\n

**Quality of Life Improvements**<\/p>\n

Beyond the visual enhancements, the \u201cConan Exiles Enhanced\u201d update brings several quality-of-life changes designed to improve the overall user experience:<\/p>\n

1. **Shared Character Progression:** Players will now be able to explore the Exiled Lands and Isle of Siptah (if they own the DLC) with the same character. The option to teleport between these areas without a restart will streamline the gameplay experience.<\/p>\n

2. **Multiple Character Creation:** Players can create multiple characters on one account, adding flexibility to character customization and gameplay.<\/p>\n

3. **Refined User Interface:** The user interface has received a facelift, featuring cleaner menus and improved navigation, enhancing accessibility for players.<\/p>\n

4. **Enhanced Crafting System:** Crafting in \u201cConan Exiles\u201d will now be more fluid, as it can pull ingredients from nearby storage and follower inventories, reducing the hassle of inventory management.<\/p>\n

5. **Reduced Client Size:** The game\u2019s client size has been significantly reduced to 40GB, a considerable reduction from its previous 120GB, making it more accessible for new users with limited storage.<\/p>\n

**Conclusion**<\/p>\n

\u201cConan Exiles\u201d proves that a game based on a century-old character can continue to thrive and evolve in a competitive gaming landscape. With the impending release of the \u201cConan Exiles Enhanced\u201d update, the game is set to offer both veterans and new players an enriched experience, reinforcing its place in the survival genre. As we anticipate its release on May 5th, it’s clear that Funcom remains committed to maintaining and enhancing \u201cConan Exiles\u201d for years to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

\nI know that Conan Exiles<\/a> exists because everything must be based on some kind of pre-existing property. Still, the fact it’s managed to continue to exist for a whole decade tickles me. What do you mean this game based on a 100 year old character that most people probably link to Arnold Schwarzenegger above anything else is still going strong? So strong, in fact, that it is getting a big update next month that revamps the survival<\/a> game’s look and makes various nice sounding tweaks. For free!\n<\/p>\n
