Conan Exiles Enhanced

Legacy of the Giant-Kings: Part Two released on October 6, opening Rifts across the Exiled Lands and Isle of Siptah, adding four Sorcery spells, and bringing back the Mi-Go. Its first chapter had already introduced the Cyclopean Halls and Legendary Repair, while Conan Exiles Enhanced was announced as a free PS5 and Xbox Series X|S upgrade targeted for early 2027—not a release in this window.

• Legacy of the Giant-Kings: The free four-part story arc delivered two chapters.
  • Part One: Released on July 21 with the Cyclopean Halls dungeon beneath the Unnamed City and the Legendary Repair system for restoring Legendary gear.
  • Part Two: Added Rifts, four Sorcery spells unlocked through Rift encounters, and returning Mi-Go enemies, including a mini-boss with themed rewards.
• Vendhyan and Shemite additions: The Vendhyan Building Set and Vendhyan armor and weapon cosmetics arrived in June, while the Shemite Building Set entered the Bazaar in October.

• Saddle Dyeing: Color dyeing for saddles arrived as a long-requested customization feature in May.
• Head Hunter Event: The revamped Head Hunter Event returned from August 18 to August 30 with faction-locked epic armor and crafting sets, Legendary weapons, and decorative placeables.
• Enhanced console roadmap: Conan Exiles Enhanced was announced with full cross-play, Exiled Lands and Isle of Siptah integration, official-server changes, and single-player save carryover. Legacy of the Giant-Kings: Part Three, featuring Akhamet, received a November 10 target, but its delivery was not confirmed in the tracked record.

Conan Exiles Enhanced launched as a free upgrade on May 5, moving the game to Unreal Engine 5 with upgraded environments, character models, lighting, and effects. It also brought The Exiled Lands and The Isle of Siptah together for shared character travel, carried over UE4 saves, and reduced the client to 68GB.

• The Exiled Lands and The Isle of Siptah: One character could travel between both regions, while multiplayer servers hosted them together instead of forcing a map choice at character creation.
  • Multiple Characters Support: Single-player accounts could maintain and switch between multiple characters.
  • Enhanced Crafting and Building: Crafting pulled ingredients from nearby storage and follower inventories.
• Thrall Trading System and Sorcery: These additions expanded follower use and spell progression.
  • Thrall Trader: New selling stations handled human followers, animals, and golems.

  • Tome of Kurak and Arcane Staff: Progression was smoothed, early spells dropped reagent requirements, casting sped up, and sorcerer thralls gained Sacrificial Stone efficiency bonuses.
• Character Transfers: Transfers returned between servers and on Steam, preserving levels, inventory, and followers; the one-character-per-account storage limit still required importing or deleting a character before another transfer. The Restoration of Disappeared Followers entry said vanished thralls, pets, and mounts should return on login, while Export Character could still show incorrect data as a known issue.
• Dark Dregs and Head Hunting: Dark Dregs launched as a limited-time replacement for the original Dregs through September 19. Later Dark Dregs and Head Hunting returns were announced for December 18–January 6 and November 25–December 9, respectively, rather than confirmed here as deliveries.
• Day One Modding Support: The launch shipped with popular mods and a refreshed Mod Dev Kit; Steam Deck performance improved, and the game targeted 60+ FPS across presets on most PCs.
