Conan Exiles With Another Huge Update When Everyone Believed the Game is Polished

Conan Exiles is a game that includes many elements, and by many, we mean EXTREMELY diverse. There is a lot to talk about when it comes to this game. After the game got rid of the Early Access tag, everyone believed that they could finally enjoy all of the new content it offers. Well, it’s far from over, and yet the game is ready to receive even more updates like the one today.

The update is huge and brings lots of changes to the game, as well as server-side improvements and some bug fixes as well. The polishing is still ongoing as the game has received new threat animations that react appropriately when you’re getting close to your prey, and they will receive even further improvements within a coming hotfix.

While some other issues remain in the game, it’s still a good progress for the Funcom team as their journey is still persistent. Below you can find the full patch notes:
