The way You describe it, that would certainly be a perfect gap solution until a true sequel becomes viable and while Dune is built up to be a reliable money-maker.

@@PJMack10 Oh can you perhaps just stfu about those made up culture war talking points. Full nudity is 1. something that not everybody indulges in and 2. conflicts in most cases with laws that have been in the books since the '50s.

I would love to see a revamp of CE. My biggest request would be stabilizing the game and fixing a lot of the existing bugs, but I agree with all the items you listed to make it work for the player base.

[@jonasbech7787]

it will be nice but EL should not be the main map el should be a option like a free dlc or else they need to rework the hole EL map their are tomany clifs and to many structures of the giant cultur thir is blocking so many places to build

[@Eradicati0nn]

You and me both! The graphics and such don't bother me, I think Conan is surprisingly good looking for how old it is, but the potential engine and coding stuff that could come from an upgrade might be quite helpful for squashing and preventing bugs

[@jonasbech7787]

@@Eradicati0nn i will say a graphic upgrade in survivel game have a huge impact in survivel games if they keep the same graphic in conan 2 they will not get succy and alslo people are loocking much on how graphic looks in the games

[@Fozzybear982010]

As a private server owner, I would love to see it remastered and a bit of a work over. Let’s face it, mods are keeping this game going. There are some great map mods out there that fill out areas that are not utilized. I just wish the game was optimized and less buggy.

[@retromegabitsegadude]

Funcom really should make it possible to travel to the Isle of Siptah. Make that the reason to remove your bracelet so the player can then travel to Siptah (not to walk away and get deleted). Traveling between the two maps should be a huge chore and not something you can do at a whim. But Funcom would have to allow touching your base in Exiled Lands to reset decay time to also reset the decay timing on your Siptah base (and vice versa).

[@Chief_Linguine]

I’d just setup a teleport, or a bedroll and pull bracelet.

[@Kamikaziiiii]

I’d love a new map, more dlc, more story elements, more random events

[@Jazzeough]

I think that a remaster would be a huge opportunity to polish the game and potentially attract new players. I feel like Conan isn't a game that would be considered popular or very well known by most people's standards and a remaster would be a good time to bring in some attention.

[@Eradicati0nn]

I think so too. Conan right now isn't as popular as Ark, Rust etc, but I think the property itself is almost timeless. Pretty much everyone knows what Conan the Barbarian is and what it's about, it has untapped mass appeal IMO

[@Raven_the_Gray]

You mentioned how most players prefer private servers and how nice mods on consoles would be, so I thought I'd add a bit about mods. Conan has incredible mods like Savage Wilds, AoC, EA and so on that have huge fan bases of their own. A revamp of Conan, from my perspective, won't pull the majority of the player base, if the mods we currently have all get left behind. Which is a real risk, as more and more mod developers have thrown the towel in recent years as late dev kit updates and the way Funcom makes last minute breaking changes to new ages, chapters and even hot fixes have been increasingly frustrating for mod developers. As such, sitting down, preferably with mod creators, to think about how to improve the mod development and -adjustment circle, how to include mod creators into age development early so their mods won't all break on release day or force them to crunch for a week before release day when finally the dev kit updates would be a win or loose for a new version of Conan in my opinion. If mod creators say "Nah, I'm doing something else now, you can keep playing my mod on the old version!" I believe a lot of players will just do that. On the other hand, if making and maintaining mods for a new Conan version would be easier and less frustrating than for the current game, that could pull a huge part of the audience if mod creators stop updating their mods on the old version and move on to the new one.

[@blackwatertv7018]

I think the island of Siptha was low key a sneak peak into how second Conan exiles would play… Where you can choose what part of the map to respawn in

[@Eradicati0nn]

Potentially, though the region spawning made more sense for Siptah as The Exile is shipwrecked as opposed to being lifted off the cross in the southern desert. Siptah's map design definitely felt way more PvP orientated, I think a potential new map in a sequel would be more PvE focused, though I hope they'd just officially incorporate The Savage Wilds

[@SpheraculGames]

Siptah was designed for PvP, but not very well, the concepts were good and we had a lot of fun (and frustration) playing pvp but Funcom as usual didn't explore and expand on the pvp concepts and just started adding more pve/clutter..

[@uidzip]

No no no. You can’t ask someone to develop a whole new game (and a remaster in a new engine is just that) and then expect to not pay for the game and DLCs again. Where’s the money? Where’s the reason for Funcom to do it? I’m tired of people thinking that because they bought a game they are entitled to constant communication from the seller, free stuff in the future, claims against new stuff because “they already paid for it,” etc. If it’s remastered, you didn’t already pay for that. You paid for the first game and you have it, enjoy it. You want an enhanced version? Get out your credit card, you’re buying it. The main reason studios don’t do stuff like this is the entitled brats begging them to do it, and do it effectively for free, or at a loss. It’s ridiculous. Business doesn’t work like that.

[@mattsmith2247]

I love the idea of free travel between Siptah and the exiled lands.

[@halrichermit-in8hp]

Server transfers were taken out for a number of reasons, 1. Its just one more feature to worry about breaking 2. It makes PVP servers absolutely toxic as hell to play on because entire clans can farm on dead servers then transfer to another server, wipe it then leave a few days later. Noone enjoys that. A realistic alternative to allowing transfers would be to just make Siptah/EL recipes not currently available on the maps possible to be earned by either Delving or schematics fragments or maybe some new method. Limiting server transfers to PVE only isnt worth it when you can just implement methods of earning the missing recipes through normal gameplay. And obviously make Eldarium a bit easier to obtain as well. Or as mentioned just have a dungeon portal that teleports players to Siptah and vice versa and they would both be technically part of the same map. As to the rest of the things you say should be a baseline requirement, Cross-Platform play is inherently very complicated and tricky to make work correctly. You would also need to allow Console chat options since iirc Console doesnt have Global chat. And cross platform progression (logging in on PC and having progress from your PS4 or something) is also very tricky. Look at Warframe, I think theyve been trying to get that implemented for the better part of a year or maybe even longer. Before we even talk about reworks or new features for a possible sequel I'd MUCH rather Funcom sink like 8+ months into fixing the holes in their code on what they DO have and make it so cheating is almost impossible or considerably more difficult. On top of that I'd like major bugs to get fixed, such as multiple journeys being broken, Thrall Taker, Master Chef, High Priest etc due to Age of Heroes update and also the Freya/Liu Fei questline bugging out if you do them both at once and some steps of Liu Fei's quest dont seem to fully work as intended (using certain Sorcery after turning in the Sac Blood to determine perk etc). Delving is currently broken on Siptah and there are certain enemies camps that used to be thrallable that just CANT be thralled any more (Ashen Core) not to mention the issue with how long it took them to fix and update the game after AoH released and thralls were teleporting everywhere on the map. From what I understand that issue had been reported 2 months prior to AoH release by multiple people. Funcom needs to prove they can still Crawl before we ask them to Walk or Run. Make sure the base game is issue free before you start trying to build onto it. Thats my 2 cents.

[@christigarrett2244]

Liu's quest works fine. It's not about using sorcery after sac blood. It's about using it after he's asked for the rhino horn, the heart, the eyes before you turn them in. So use or don't use between getting that quest and turning in items. I have 6 of him with all the perk combinations

[@halrichermit-in8hp]

@@christigarrett2244 Hmm I'll have to try that then, the guide I followed said otherwise. Thanks for the info.

[@rentherengend1306]

Conan Exiles needs todo what Ark did with ASA. Crossplay and mod support for consoles.

[@Eradicati0nn]

Yeah that's what I sorta envision when I think of a sequel. I think it could potentially be really good for the game. I know ASA wasn't as well received, though I can't quite remember what Wildcard did 😂

[@rentherengend1306]

@Eradicati0nn i personally love ASA.

[@perceivedvelocity9914]

From what I've heard more people play Ark Survival Evolved that ASA. The upgraded version has a reputation for being a mess.

Yeah, where some alpha dino can randomly come by wreck your base for laughs 😂 unlike what we have now, a soulless robotic setting game for you to do decor and clothing combo😑 oh wait you can go online and get the E.V.E. like experience in this Conan style 🙄. E.V.E. should be the bench mark of what "NOT" to make for a mmo.

[@fran3ro]

For me, I think one of the best things they could do is give the players a reason to stay. How? I'll expand the map and divide it in controlable areas for clans. So you'll have a clan controlling the east of the highlands, other controlling the west, other in the river, etc., all fighting or making/breaking alliances/vasals to control all the map. Edit: I still think PvP survival games like Conan Exiles are doomed to die down because diferences betwen players (time to spend, ability, patience to wistand trolls, etc) always trim the playerbase. It need a lot of luck to repeat what WoW (as an MMO) did when it came out.

[@seekswisdom7252]

I think for any chance of a remaster, FC would have to be owned by someone with more vision and ambition than what TenCent allows. There'd also have to be a competency purge, historically FC has a very poor track record starting with Anarchy Online, Age of Conan, Secret World to name but a few of their tendency to trip over their feet, as well as giving their user base the cold disdain when they catch grief for their incompetency. The best thing that can happen to CE is it gets bought by a studio that is both a lot more professional, and ambitious.

[@glitchback]

i honestly thought the empty spots on the map were for future dlc's (or maybe it was just hope)... but they have so many places from the books they could chose from!

[@AhlquistMediaLab]

I would honestly like to see a sequel with a whole new chapter in the "exile" story. It could even be a different kind of game. Let's see the results of Thoth Amon's plot play out. Bring down the barrier, return the stolen ring. Or let the player's liberation from the barrier be what he was planning all along, with Stygian forces setting upon them the seize the keystone. Now the player must get it back before Amon achieves godhood or something. A game like this could be anything from a tactical sim with full armies to a BG3 style RPG.

[@Tovek]

Conan is my favorite game by and large. I have over 11k hours in it and have no plans to ever walk away from it. I would probably squee like a little girl if they dropped this news lol.

[@mrnk88]

I'd love to see something like the Sapphire Exile map on the console.

[@aoihitori]

Tbh I don't had high expectation for a sequel. What I'm seeing here for "Remake" or "Sequel" was just an excuse to be a full blown free to play Live Service game like what other games did. We are now at the era where all games should be Live Service. I will lose my mind if Valheim will turned into Live Service as well.

[@waltt69]

I hope they do a next gen upgrade and upgrade the engine in the process, but I won't hold my breath for any of that.

[@kyribloodangel4857]

A sequel/remaster of Conan Exiles could be awesome, but... another decade of sinking into foundations, overpriced bazaar content, live services, and Funcom's disdain for their community? It's now early January. A new year, what better time for Funcom to start showing us that they can do better? Then maybe I'd consider getting into a sequel.

[@Mike-m9h2p]

I would love to see non-Western developers take on Conan. I bet boys from, for example, Warhorse studio would give us real Frazetta aesthetic, true nonfiltered awesomeness.

[@erjoh305]

I agree with all of it. The expansion you referenced could be a "dungeon" that connects Siptah with EL. The issue would be the server requirements for online play as you would need to 2-3 servers in this set up (1for EL, 1 for Siptah, and 1 for the connection but this could be a silo experience on either other server) but 1 Siptah server connected to 1 exiled land sever would need to be planned out. This would rise the # of Siptah servers and lower the number of EL servers.

[@josegamurca]

Imagine.. A Solomon Cane ... Bloodborne kind of thing. Just me?

[@redmage777]

It would be cool to have a Solomon Kane game that includes the long forgotten Exile Lands as a Easter egg. It could be a smaller region in a much bigger map. Also if they do remaster the game, I want a shot at getting the Royal Armor and Atlantean Sword if I preorder...

[@CuddleMonster86]

I love this and truly hope a remaster happens! Definitely hoping for that top corner of the map, too :)

[@shaixalyd6681]

Well, I don't know, I recently found the Legend of Shim mod. There's a new map that goes on as a continuation of Conan who came out of the lands of the exiles, and I think if the game developers wanted to republish Conan, they could do it much better, of course, having much more financial resources and human resources.

[@shadowswithin702]

I think it's a great game, it's just so under utilised. So many options, ideas. Opening up the rest of the Conan world map, giving you an incentive to escape the exiled lands. More maps to explore, more armors, towns, dungeons, interesting npc's. Quests, more building options. Make that part of a re-master, you get the base game and Siptah. Which should have always been accessible from the main game, then add in all the other maps of the other regions in the lore. So much potential and money to be made, but the developers just don't seem to bother. And I'm not sure why, you have a community that love it. They would buy more content, more maps to other places so why not?

[@Enigmatic..]

A remaster would need to have extended existing dungeons, new dungeons, combat rework and a bigger up scaled map.

[@baronvonboomboom4349]

I would like either a remaster or a sequel. You know me, i have not played in a long time, so it could be something to draw me back. Or who knows, maybe open a small private community server, similar to your previous building project.

[@sindyliaru]

Dennis pretty much did confirm a sequel a stream during the Age of Sorcery devstream. He said " There's almost no question on if Conan Exiles 2 will happen. It just becomes a matter of when. " While he did state it's not a promise but an observation; Regardless, they've made so much money from it and there's such a large community, still. Didn't sound like a joke to me. Also agree on the Siptah idea.

[@schneideralexander54]

If i may, I have a small list. First off, im a dirty dirty cheap scape, single player, console player (xbox xs). I tend to play like a nomad and play the game with the bare minimal to complete to main task, and other times I try to build my dream fortress from scratch. I really love survival games (ark, minecraft, ect..) I love the game and conan the barbarian in general, but it does feel hollow or incomplete at times. Theres all kinds of ruined structures throughout the game to be found, only to lack in purpose, or feels like there was something planned to be there but never came to fruition. Idk if pc players have this issue, but sometimes if I build too much and explore a good portion of the map, the game starts to run slow, to point where the terrain is smoothed out and the details never load, eventually random crashes of the game, then I have to creat a new character. This is one thing i wish was fixed but i also understand that the coding is probably long with logical and syntax errors and can become a needle in the heystack scenario. I would like to see enemies spawn more randomly, like how ark survival spawns its creatures. It just seems like the game becomes too predictable so i know that there x amount of tigers here and x amount of npcs in this camp. More wondering creatures would be cool, like human patrols between camps would be interesting as well. I wish crouching actually did something like a sneak function. Idk why its even a function in the game, unless ive been doing it wrong this entire time. And i think it was mentioned but mods for console players would be a massive plus to our experience. I could probably think of many minor things as well but these are a few big things i would like to see in a sequel/remaster of the game.

[@LazyLautrec]

I would like for them to take a lot of the stuff from Age of Conan and maybe expand on it into Conan Exiles. They already took so much from the mmo they might as well keep doing it. Hell 99% of the songs are from the mmo same with most of the DLC armors are also just MMO tier sets.

[@panther2311]

Funcom are going to be focused on the release of Dune Awakening and fixes / updates to it so I doubt they will have that many people available to work on a Exiles remaster for some time. Plus, no doubt Funcom will be hoping alot of the current Exiles players will buy Dune so it does not really make sense to start working on a Exiles remaster currently. If a remaster happens it's unlikely much (if any) work will be done on it for at least a year.

[@Eradicati0nn]

Agreed, the dev teams themselves are separate but Dune will be taking the lion's share of the overall resources at the moment, especially in the run-up to EA release. Marketing especially is likely almost entirely geared towards Dune until that time. I wouldn't be surprised if the thought to do an upgrade/remaster is there, but it's on hold until the resources are freed up a little more after EA launch

[@matheushafemann2690]

one thing that I wish funcom should have done already, would be adding some mods to base game, like hosav`s UI and some others, which gives quality of life to the game... Or even hire those mods' devs to make changes to conan. I'd love a revamp with all these changes

[@Eradicati0nn]

1000% agree. Hosav's UI is an unlikely candidate because it goes against the game philosophy, though it is super useful. I would love for Funcom to buy and incorporate mods, there's plenty of great ones out there, especially modded maps like Savage Wilds. They've designed features based on some mods in-house, but the modding community is always faster

[@matheushafemann2690]

@Eradicati0nn unfortunately it's true about Hosav... and to be sincere, I can't play on official servers anymore after I tried those mods, lol. The first time I got into Savage Wilds, I was so excited that we could enter those buildings, the whole map is amazing! After some years playing Conan, it feels like Funcom just forgot the game... They made some updates here and there, but nothing so impressive, not to mention the bugs, most of them unfixed... even with all these issues, I still love the game 😆

[@mrnk88]

Bah eu queria mesmo é que tivesse o Tot! Customs no Console e outros mods de qualidade de vida/cosméticos

I just want actually "sling" spells, I just love roleplaying this sorcerer supreme king who carved out his own slice of a kingdom inside the exiles land that not even the people on the outside dare go near

[@household5soapcompany95]

I'm not sure I'm super on board with a remaster (same game new graphics) - BUT I would certainly be entirely onboard with a continuation on this game on a new engine.

[@kuroihagane]

We need an Age of Conan 2!

[@MissVitticeps]

Nice work Eradicati0n, there's some solid idea's there. I could be wrong, but hasn't Dune - Awakening basically got the basic move set etc from Conan Exiles (ie climbing/ harvesting/melee etc)? In any case, if it is similar, the devs would only need to port the base code from Dune to the new Conan. I'd love Funcom to do this and update the game, i just hope they don't go the same route as Wildcard and make us pay for what is basically, a graphic upgrade.

[@Eradicati0nn]

Thank you Vitticeps! Yeah from what I've seen, Dune does have some similar animations, though I don't think it would take too long to make those basic actions. I could be wrong though. I'd honestly forgotten that part of the ASA controversy, I'm entirely out of the loop with Ark, I just know it didn't release well. CE2 would definitely need something extra like a map expansion or a new map, alongside base game Siptah. There's obviously a lot more potential with fresh code and a more up-to-date engine, but a sequel would need something to immediately show

[@MaverickX36]

I love Siptah. The biggest mistake devs made with the map is not giving it an aim. Your goal in Exile Lands is to free your character. Siptah, on the other hand, is do a thousand things and nothing serves an ending. Anyway, CE2 would be a great chance to do things right this time and fix the terrible mistakes they made with the original. I'm definetely in.

[@Biggarou]

I always thought and said that Sipta should have been the part 2 to exiles. ike at the end of exiles you leave that land, so a simple cintnuation for the same characers was to have them land on sipta while leaving the exiled lands via ship insteand of just walking into the desert and having that be the end of the character's story. but the way they went about it was nothng like what I invisioned Sipta being so since it had everything exiled lands had in it there was no real point to even try it. it was just a rehashed version in exiles without it having as deep a lore that Exiles came with.

[@CurrentAffairs341]

I think that the entitlement that people would feel that they should have a cheaper upgrade path on a remaster at a cheaper price is probably a good reason why they wont go down this route. May as well change it just enough during any "remaster" to bascially make it Conan 2 and full price.

[@Eradicati0nn]

I could see both sides of it. One on hand, more potential buy-ins from a brand new Conan title, but also far more development work. On the other hand, a potentially easier development stream, and a player base that has already shown interest in the game with a likely easier sell of $10 - $20 on a next gen upgrade. I wouldn't expect either to do enormous sales, but player retention is just as valuable a metric considering the Bazaar. The latter seems like it may take the edge on that front

[@bubzthetroll]

The real question is would Tencent even want to invest in a Conan remaster. There's a lot of assets to update if you include every DLC/bazaar item, on top of purchasing the license to use UE 5.0 for a remaster.

Nice video man. I really like to see Conan Exiles 2 but Funcom love money to much so i wonder if they even made this new game then would they let the ancestral knowledge can transfer to the new one ? Like Crew2 to CrewMotorfest.I dont think so :(

[@alan4309]

The thing is this: There is no other game that is quite the same as Conan Exiles. To me, it's by far one of the best games I've ever played. Now, how many games have I played? Well, I started playing games in 1969. When BBSs first came out I played games online. I owned an Apple II, then Apple II+ and an Apple IIGS. I made it a hobby to own and play every single game ever sold for that computer platform. When Steve Jobs was fired I dumped Apple and went to the PC. Now on steam I own well over 1000 games, all of which I have played at least for a few hours. I have over 10 years in Eve Online, over 8000 hours on Steam in 7 Days to Die, and been in CE since day one. The fact that no one to my knowledge is coming out with Conan Exiles II right now is a travesty. It's a huge possible success if handled right. We're talking BILLIONS of unrealized profits sitting on the table.

[@Selrahcbal]

You only have to look at the Ark upgrade to see how it would play out. Admittedly, Ark was a lot older game and suffered a lot of issues preventing a smooth gameplay experience unless you were a hardcore player. I genuinely loved playing Ark Ascended even though I didn't really like the gameplay loop. One thing is for sure, something needs to happen with Conan. I am glad to hear it being talked about in this video, even if it is just speculation at this point. I would love to see QOL improvments like, easier map and character transfers, multiple characters being native to the game. Also as you suggesed in one your comments, adding in support for some of the better mods, much like Ark did.

[@GreenerOdin]

It's (ASE) like a year and a half older (than Conan). The ASA jank i suspect has far more to do with a less experienced dev team (than Funcoms long history) and Snail having burned all their funds/profits so Wildcard is just rushing out for profit content with little budget or time allowed for the revamp itself. Hence why there have been none of the promised code overhauls (ASAs bug patterns pretty much matching ASEs is pretty strong evidence, no spaghetti unwound), the graphics are pretty much just baseline UE5 assets for rocks/trees etc and instead that they prioritizing selling individual overpowered creature reskins, adding a Rust like skins and nonsense shop, and weird lore breaking DLC packs at the same price as the proposed plans for the expansion maps the community refused to pay for again.)

[@Selrahcbal]

@GreenerOdin I will be the first to admit, ASA has its problems these days. I don't play that game anymore because of the overpowered creatures and other pay to win aspects they have introduced. Snail definitely screwed the pooch there. Hopefully, Ten Cent doesn't do the same thing with Conan, although it feels like it's going that way. I don't actually have a problem with the a graphics of Conan now, but if they were to do an update/ remake/new game, the graphics would undoubtedly be better along with a host of QOL benefits. They do own the IP after all. I'm not all that familiar with ASA as I don't play it anymore, as I mentioned and when I did, it was only ever single player, like Conan.

[@GreenerOdin]

@@Selrahcbal Yeah, totally with you there, I am not going to even look at ASA again until they release 1.0 and am very unlikely to ever bother putting time into it over ASE unless Ark 2 actually gets some demonstrated dev progress (because heresy I know, but the Ark on foot combat and climbing are both being shifted to be similar to Conan and I think that is a match made in heaven). Also, like, on the graphics note, what is the point? Conan looked excellent on release day and is still better looking than 90% of modern game releases esp in the survival space. Like, is there a need? Cheers for the polite response btw.

[@user-Jim499]

Think they would do better if they did a larger game with all the Hyborian age civilizations on a map with a strong intertwined story if your character traveling out of Exile lands to their home.. whether it be Argos .. Aquilonia .. Stygia .. whatever your race maybe

[@kenparkerjr7044]

My idea is spiritual successor. A similar style game in the Symbaroum setting.

[@TheSietch]

I think the outsourcing solution is a fairly realistic option.

[@Eradicati0nn]

I think so too, Funcom's a publisher as well as a dev studio, and other devs have worked on their various IPs before now

[@retromegabitsegadude]

I would welcome a re-master/sequel for Conan Exiles. I love the game but it really would benefit from a complete overhaul.

[@davidmorcombe6779]

conan is at a point where each update breaks the game more and more and they end up never fixing it properly if at all. a sequel would be great, whole new game, where they can put in all the good ideas from the starts so we can actually enjoy them.

[@davidmorcombe6779]

also god no, no revamp/remasters. the fact people wasted their money on Ark and now we still dont have ark2 and they are just doing content for old ark. just a new game is the better option

[@Winterizes]

I think something like this would be a BIG net positive for CE as a whole but this could just be my own bias. I have a number of good development experiences within UE 4 and 5 and it's hard to not see the limitations that their version of UE4 has. For one, an upgrade to UE5 would allow for map expansions to BE possible. I also think it would be a great way for the Funcom team to clean up some backend code and other things that are apparent within the DevKit too. It would allow for the game to be a more smooth experience and I also would love to continue to enjoy Conan Exiles as time passes and lets be real, this game cannot stay afloat forever being stuck in UE4.

[@DraganDraws]

I would happily pay for a new game but one that's set in Hyborian map.

[@AstutelyAware]

I doubt anyone that plays Conan Exiles would care if the Devs took the time to remake the game and left the game and community alone for a while. Just give us updates on what to expect in the new game and we should be good. Every time they make a post on Steam they get bashed for one thing or another that should have been fixed long ago or the current update itself. I like the game a lot but even I have my limits even though I play single player. Going back and forth to Siptah would be great though they would have to make changes to the lore of Siptah since characters can never leave the island.

the best we can hope for is Dune to pop off and if they make a lot of money they might go for a big Age of Conan/Conan exiles blend with dune awakenings style survival mmo with basebuilding and a bigger map with better combat and systems

[@Goosebear77]

I've given up on Exiles at this stage. I haven't been able to run the game since the Living Settlements update screw ups. Yes, I've tried turning if off and on again lol. I've sent two error reports to Funcom and received no reply. I'm not much of a gamer but I'm a huge fan of the work of Robert E. Howard and Conan in general and feel that despite the acquisition of Heroic Signatures they have utterly failed in bringing that wealth of material into the game. The Riddle of Steel dlc is a joke considering how awesome the weapons and armour design of the film is and they gave us that? Full character weapons and armour sets would have made me buy it. As it is, I wouldn't even pay for it in the Steam sale. There are a few bits and pieces from the books and movies in the base game which was nice but no description of the history related to them. I recently saw a video with the guy who wrote the descriptions and what his input into the game was. He wrote a bunch of meta fluff about about ladders and HE'S "The Conan guy"? LOL! The addition of more source material would attract more fans like me but Funcom isn't bothered. If only they could make a game that wasn't so broken too. From what I have gathered from my friends that have played other Funcom games like Age of Conan, this is typical Funcom. Tragic really. The ideas in this video are really interesting. I like the idea of Siptah being included in the base game. I didn't see the point of it as a dlc. If you can pass the barrier then why stop at Siptah? I think Siptah could be a stepping stone to a much bigger map. Like Hyperboria itself. There's plenty of source material to draw from for quests, dungeons, building etc. "Let me tell you of the days of high adventure."

[@bluetitan9149]

We need more new map then anything else at this point to be honest

[@shep-celsus]

I wouldn't hope for any huge changes for Conan as long as the in-game store still churns a profit. Once the people spending money in the Conan store are spread out among Dune or other IPs that Funcom now owns and dwindles the Conan store to the point it's not worth the support, then they will START putting out ideas for a new Conan game. And what style of game that is will depend on the type of gameplay popular at that time. And by popular I mean generating the most microtransactions. The devs love games, but games are a business first.

[@peterthanasse1321]

Want to make something interesting? Make a new MMO à la Age of Conan, but with a slightly different magic system (not quite as slow and punitive a Exiles, but not as OP as AOC). Use the revamped assets from both games, recreating some of the areas and developping new areas from the Conan World. Return to Tortage, Cimmeria, Kithan, etc, keep a scaled down Exiled Lands and Sipta as a sort of dungeon adventure area (scrap the new areas in Exiles that are somewhat non-sensical in a wider MMO setting - like the Cimmeria inspired areas - to avoid replication), and develop proper Stygian, etc., areas. That might take a few years, but the assets are there, there are mechanics that are well established that can be repolished and what works from the upcoming Dune MMO can be adapted. It makes sense more than relaunching Exiles. Cheers! Canuck2099 :)

[@BraveSirPaul]

Totally agree with your comments that any upgrade or remaster - should allow players to maintain/keep any purchases. And the game definitely needs cross platform saves/support - I shouldnt need to purchases content twice (outside the original game) on different platforms

[@Eradicati0nn]

Yeah I think it's an absolute necessity. If it's an upgrade, there's no reason to not transfer purchases and be able to share/move them between platforms

[@SackRingDice]

As a solo dev, I can tell you most every solo dev uses UE5; there’s zero reasons to use UE4 unless you’re living in a world where UE5 doesnt exist

[@Eradicati0nn]

Yeah that tracks. I know Funcom use a heavily modded version of UE4 with loads of custom stuff plugged in to work with their dev pipeline, apparently rework that for UE5 is what would incur the need for massive engine work if the current version of the game was ported to UE5

[@averyrobinson7846]

i was watching piratesoftware interview one of the guys from the dune game and they said they don't want to do conan exiles 2 just yet ... its around the 6 minute mark of the interview

[@Eradicati0nn]

I just finished watching that interview actually, found it surprisingly interesting. I wouldn't be surprised if that conversation was a few years ago, Dune's likely already been in development for a good couple of years. Assuming it was maybe 2019/2020 based on when the modern movies were beginning production, Conan was still relatively young in the grand scheme. It definitely would have been too early for a true sequel then, but a remaster/upgrade seems far more likely now

[@arcanedelane50]

Be nice if companies would fix their games before releasing a new one. Especially since they are still bringing in revenue for the game. It'd be like ark bringing out the last map then not long after bringing all the servers down.

[@Brigand231]

I'm good with whatever, I play CE casually when not playing or modding other games that I play a lot more.

[@elvisdiazaceituno]

Hi, I think they wouldn't make an update to Unreal Engine 5 because they won't want to answer for all the items and DLCs purchased. For that reason, I see a completely new Conan Exiles 2 as more possible.

[@varehma]

I'd love to see Conan Exiles in a revamped way or get a sequel and of course - in as much as possible bug-free state. Their customized UE4 engine is just not holding it together anymore. The game and it's spaghetti code has been breaking for a while so much with all of these updates and whatnot, it's hard to enjoy CE as much as I used to. I truly wish Funcom would hear us - the players - out and step forward in making this game incredible and polished

[@postmoderncowboy]

boats for siptah will save it

[@Zer0Complex]

I prefer Siptah to the Exiled Lands, I would like to see it get equal love to EL.

[@multigun8082]

Cross platform purchases is the least likely of the things suggested. I know there is a very tiny amount of games that offer this now ( I can't even think of one off the top of my head, maybe Diablo 4?), but getting Microsoft and Sony on board is a major task. There's a reason that this isn't industry standard.

[@JON3SS]

Conan Exiles is such a great game, just a really well done game. Its only because of its poor server performance and bugs that its got a low population A total remake of this game would be so nice if it run well with bigger servers and fewer bugs!

[@Eradicati0nn]

Yeah the bugs and performance are by far the biggest issue, even the Bazaar pricing pales in comparison. The game does need some stuff like a better end-game, but it's a small issue compared to the constant bugs

[@MagicSteel1]

I think most contents are pretty much exhausted now. Not really worth it IMO. New map/additional contents would be always welcome tho.

[@BrazenFate]

Because of my permanent ban I already lost every bazaar item and old battlepass items so idc if they transfer stuff

[@BrazenFate]

This is the best survival game ever made I like that its swords and sorcery and no guns I love the armor system I make so many different sets they should add fishing and so much more I never want this game to die I get banned alot because I constantly kill players and they report me all the time but I keep making smurf accounts and moving forward I love this game and will play it until it dies or gets better unban Brazen Fate😂

[@ThisIsMrEricTV]

I agree with everything you said and even have mentioned the same thing to my friends. Conan is just too buggy because they are trying to fit all kinds of awesome stuff on an old system. My PC is 10 years old and has been fixed twice. I know that it would never be able to run Conan or any newer game without it having a heart attack. That's exactly what Funcom is doing. They are giving the old engine a heart attack which is why they are having all these issues. I have said on many occasions that they need to upgrade and release an updated (remastered) version with the option to import your character from a different platform. Of course you would have t start over as if you went to a new server, but everything you have purchased would carry over, ex DLC, Siptah, Battle pass unlocks and bazaar purchases. I have every single thing that Funcom has released in the bazaar, battle passes, and even old twitch drops such as the festive dog and watchers furniture. There are only two items that I do not have which are the Royal Armor and the Atlantean Sword. As much as I have spent, I'd be pretty upset if they remastered it but didn't give me the option to bring all those items with me. I do hope they figure something out soon. I honestly miss playing it when it wasn't so buggy. What makes me upset is the last thing we all heard from them was they were not going to stop focusing on Conan to work on Dune. So far, that doesn't seem the case at all. They have just left us in the dark.

[@darkerthanblack8897]

I just want pvp without the risk of loosing everything i worked weeks for. Also the constant risk of getting raided is driving me crazy and reduces the fund of the game.

[@Eradicati0nn]

Yeah I'm not a fan of full risk PvP, it's a very hardcore environment. I think a lot more people would be inclined to try something like PvE-C where PvP has less risk

[@ByRookorCrook]

I think CE would be better served by a complete sequel rather than a remaster. Too much money to be made from reintroducing DLC, Game pass, and Bazaar items to a new customer base. I doubt Funcom would offer any more than a token discount to returning players. How much credit did Age of Conan players get for the reused assets in CE? I believe the rights ownership points to an inevitable sequel. Dune will be the next testing ground for mechanics to bring into a new Conan Survival game. Truthfully, CE has evolved into a much different game since EA. There have been so many mechanic changes (old purge, Siptah wild surge and summoned surge, Sandstorm and Maelstrom, events, Avatars, the list goes on and on. A lot of the tinkering seems to be bearing fruit for Dune. I imagine Dune's tinkering will result in a new Conan.

[@ianoag]

Rather than call it a Sequel/Re-master you could call it a follow up. Maybe it could take place on the actual Conan world (The name of which eludes me at the moment) provided funcom have the permission.

[@OwDoGaming-kx9jo]

With loads of people crying out for a new map, don’t know why funcom don’t show some love to the modders. They’ve got (from what I’ve experienced) a damn good map in the savage wilds map better than Siptah

[@labrat-dk4831]

If they think they can make more money on a remaster then on this version. Then yes, im sure they will do it 🤔

[@Eradicati0nn]

That's a huge factor for sure 😂 Funcom are a business, profit incentive will be an enormous sway

[@georgeflamehand2100]

i wish they could me another conan game with a bigger world like conan exiles i bought the conan exiles cause of being big fan of conan the barbarian but i never knew funcon had a bad reputation should have done my research first.

[@stevenharvey1897]

I think a Conan god of war type game would be nice or an open-world Skyrim-like game.

[@robertBronson-l3o]

Gross Gow is trash.

[@CNM1975]

only if they do it with ALL the others modded maps from steam....

[@IlieDorel]

Why not work all dlc / items on ps5? Aesir on ps is not work and many other stuff 😢

[@RainOfAshes]

I hope it happens!

[@Enigmatic..]

I would definitely re-buy the game if they remastered it, its the only game i have more then 1000 hours in.

[@sl9dge]

They need to focus at least just a lil bit on PVP if they do that. Cause year after year the Conan Exiles PVP has gotten... Well shheaaat

[@christigarrett2244]

Server xgers would work fine if only the character and not their inventory transfered

[@Daarkh]

Funcom also released "Mutant: Year Zero". If you took Conan Exiles and put it in the world of Mutant.... That would be the last game I purchased. I would happily never play any other game again. But since that wont happen, I would gladly take a CE2 at least.

[@Eradicati0nn]

I gotta be honest, I've never played or even looked at MYZ 😂

[@Daarkh]

@@Eradicati0nn It is a little like Xcom but in a postapocalyptic Sweden. Based on a swedish tabletop rpg game with the same name.

[@user-nd3hn4gl5d]

To put simply, Conan Exiles sequel not possible with funcom, if right was taken by another more resposible develioper then its possible.

[@tekkamangrave]

first they need to specify a genre it wants to fall in, not a "survival + pvp + building sim + open (but empty) world + early access level of polish" hybrid mutant

[@BlackBunik]

It would be nice if a new game or a remaster made the game more lively with NPCs. So far they are just there standing, waiting. I know it is meant to be played with other people on a server, but I found it to be a rather bad experience than playing on my own.

[@Tyrael538]

if i don't get the content i bought on normal conan exiles, there is no chance for me to buy a remake.

[@Eradicati0nn]

You'll likely be in the majority there. I love Conan but I would be seriously opposed to them not transferring the purchases, unless it's a completely new game

[@Viralmoments3052]

They have to fix the constant crashing and freezing. I literally just seconds ago was playing and it crashed, it does this every ten minutes. This game Amazing but doesn’t seem like funcon cares much about the issues with crashing

[@solowolf7418]

As long as the packs and bazar items I bought will transfer I am fine with it. Technology changes and coding may not be able to continue forever.

[@jonasbech7787]

i like the idea with a conan 2 with a new map but have the same maps as a option to choose siptah was a sad thing but give up totaly on making a new map just becuse siptah was bad dosent mean the next map will be bad

[@Eradicati0nn]

Agreed, Siptah as a map was alright after early access but it was mostly the pricing and the launch that made it fail. I'll actually have a video coming specifically about why Siptah failed 😂

[@jonasbech7787]

@@Eradicati0nn if they making a conan exiles to they need to follow the lore and make a lore map not a self made lore. and if they reworking the need to rework the hole EL to many clifs/mountens and cultur sturctures their filling the world too much,

[@slik1977]

No, if they couldn't get the first game right, it's pointless remaking or remastering. If it was with different developers/company, maybe but I'd doubt it would be success. It would need to prove itself to customers as workable, and that would take too long for most companies to wait financially

[@kwuserfriendly1769]

It would be awesome to have a new conan!! Mostly with a new graphic!! But, I dont think so! They are focused on dune, if this ever comes out 😂! So, not a chance at least not in the near future.

[@AmpDad87]

They need too it freezes and stuff now and it has a lot of potential

[@S0LIXUS]

they've already addressed the conan exiles 2 thing during a dune awakening stream.. they stated that conan exiles right now still has alot of life in it.. with future content. so yes conan exiles 2 is possible.. but not right now. wait i didn't even finish the video before posting this... Eradication are you suggesting if a remastered was to be released .. if you currently own the game u get the remaster for free + all dlcs? if you are .. no .. even ark didn't do this.. u still had to pay for ASA even if you owned ASE.. the dlc's however came free (apart from bob's tales) .. to expect a remastered version of conan exiles for free just because u own the original is extremely entitled.
