Time to invest in a shirt, barbarians, because Conan Exiles is finally rampaging onto consoles, and the game is bringing a major winter-themed expansion with it!
The Frozen North expansion promises to grow the world of Conan Exiles by over 70 percent, adding new forest and snowy mountainous areas to the game. Expect to meet new allies, explore more ruins, and, of course, kill new baddies like wolves and Frost Giants. You can check out a trailer for the expansion above, and a full rundown of everything you can expect, below:
A Huge, New Land: The world of Conan Exiles is now 70% bigger! Climb towering mountains, explore deep forests, fight your way through massive new dungeons, and discover new people, cultures, and settlements.
Weather and Temperature: In the north, rain and snow can make you freeze to death and in the desert, the burning sun can be equally deadly. Make sure you dress for the weather to stay cool or warm. Camp fires, torches, drinks, and more can also help you control your temperature.
New Buildings and Resources: Harvest new resources such as star metal, black ice, and more. Build new homes and entire cities with all new building pieces and furniture, and make sure to use the right materials to either keep your home warm or cool.
New Religion and Avatar: Dedicate your work and worship to Ymir, the Lord of Storm and War. Summon his avatar and use his giant battle-axe to crush your enemies!
New Enemies: Encounter towering Frost Giants, hungry wolves, aggressive mammoths, and many other new enemies. You must also go head to head against new dungeon bosses such as Tyros the Deathbringer.
Brewing and Cooking: These two new crafting systems lets you brew different drinks and cook up a variety of juicy meals. Make mead, wine, absinth, bug soup, demon blood sausage, and more. You can even trap fish and practice beekeeping!
Better Than Ever: The expansion update brings with it a host of improvements such as better combat, better artificial intelligence on human enemies, and more. This is in addition to the 28 updates worth of additions rolled out over the past six months including climbing, siege equipment, avatar defenses, dying system, and much more!
New Armor and Weapons: Find and craft three new material types: Star Metal, Black Ice, and Hardened Steel. Equip many new kinds of equipment, including the Vanir Fur Armor that will protect you from both cold temperatures and enemy strikes!
Conan Exiles is currently available via Steam Early Access, and will Xbox One Game Preview on August 16.
