Dawning Of The Age Of Heroes Begins In Conan Exiles With Voiced Companions, Living Settlements & More

As a seasoned veteran of the Exiled Lands, I can’t help but feel my heart pound with anticipation as Funcom prepares to unleash the Age of Heroes update for Conan Exiles on October 17th, 2024. The new features and gameplay mechanics promised in this expansion have me itching to dive back into the world of Hyboria.


In the upcoming phase for survival MMO Conan Exiles, players venture into the Exiled Lands and Isle of Siptah, seeking those who embody courage and heroism. Developer and publisher Funcom invite both newcomers and returning adventurers to experience the Age of Heroes update, set to launch simultaneously on consoles and PCs on 17th October 2024. This major update introduces a plethora of fresh features, gameplay elements, and enhancements.

In this contemporary survival MMO, players step out of the remnants of war into a fresh epoch, teeming with heroes-for-hire or civilians in distress scattered throughout the Exiled Lands and Isle of Siptah. Offer assistance to the distressed populace and delve into novel storylines and tasks that will earn you loyalty and trust from new associates. These two new allies possess unique interactive attributes and special benefits, which can be activated depending on your choices and actions during these journeys.

In this survival MMO, companions like Followers and Thralls have been crucial, but the Era of Heroes introduces two fully-voiced character companions, Liu Fei and Freya the Aesir warrior. These voice-acted companions possess unique traits that influence their abilities, which can be unlocked based on choices made during their storyline. Therefore, it’s essential to take note of these details as their skill sets will be shaped accordingly.

Funcom has introduced an update to the game that transforms Thralls from stationary workstation enhancements into interactive Non-Player Characters (NPCs) within their settlements, who now have requirements and responses to their surroundings. This innovative feature is called Living Settlements, where the worker Thralls are liberated, leading to the development of a dynamic cityscape. However, this transformation also brings new difficulties.

In the community among these workers, unique requirements are now surfacing, and they will actively look for fulfillment of these needs across the premises. For instance, if a worker is feeling hungry, they’ll search the base to find a comfortable spot where they can savor a satisfying meal or drink. On the other hand, a sleeping need calls for proper beds, not just bedrolls, Exiled Ones!

In the upcoming “Age of Heroes” season, there won’t be a Battle Pass system; instead, rewards will be given to players through alternative methods, as explained by the developers. On the bright side, the Bazaar Shop is getting an update for “Age of Heroes Chapter 1,” where you can discover fresh items such as new cosmetics, weapons, armor, decorations, and additional Argossean building set pieces like the observatory. These items will be available for purchase.
