Two Maps, One Seamless World
For the first time, players can now freely move between the Exiled Lands and the Isle of Siptah, which requires a separate purchase. The two vast regions are integrated into one continuous experience, allowing exploration of both without needing to start a new character or select a map at game launch.
Multiplayer servers can now simultaneously support both maps, greatly expanding the playable world for players who own the 'Conan Exiles: Isle of Siptah' expansion.
Global Expansion as a Survival Game
Since its original release on May 8, 2018, over 15 million players have ventured into the harsh world of the critically acclaimed survival game 'Conan Exiles'. The game is set in the legendary world of Robert E. Howard.
