The first Chapter of Conan Exiles' Age of War is here, courtesy of Funcom (@Funcom). This free update adds new features and a new Battle Pass full of cosmetic rewards. Check out the official launch trailer and see the beginning of the war in @ConanExiles.

As the ancient and powerful Stygian empire marches on the Exiled Lands, unite your clan with a custom emblem that you can put on shields and banners, then scour the land for treasure to display in your vault. Befitting the Age of War, the combined effect of improvements to stamina, enemies, and combat mechanics make for a vastly improved combat experience. Fighting for your life in Conan Exiles now feels more rewarding than ever.

Today’s update marks the first of three coming in the Age of War, and all of it is free. Additional paid content comes in the form of cosmetics available through the Battle Pass and Bazaar Item store, which includes new styles of building pieces, armors, weapons, pets, mounts, and much more!

Several additional features are already confirmed for Chapters Two and Three, including improved and expanded purges, recruitable mercenaries, upgraded enemy AI, and a PvE raid against the Stygian invaders, with even more to come.

To celebrate the launch, Conan Exiles is free to try starting today on Xbox, Steam and the Epic Games Store, with deep discounts on the base game, Isle of Siptah expansion, and all DLCs! Additional discounts are available for Xbox Game Pass members and PlayStation Plus members.
