We aim to support around 70 players for start of early access.
There will be an official stream showing real gameplay very soon. Keep following our social channels, Steam page, and dev blog on www.conanexiles.com to be notified.
When you build foundations you claim an area, and until your foundation is destroyed nobody can build within a radius of that area. So if your enemies want to claim your land, they need to destroy you first.
Yes, you create your own character. Deeper than most comparable survival games. You choose looks, your religion, your race, voice, etc.
There won’t be microtransactions nor a monthly subscription.
You level up and you increase your stats like might and endurance. You also unlock recipies to build things.
We’re a pretty well established company with a track record of releasing games. We’re not going to tarnish our reputation by making a game that stays in Early Access forever or one that goes quiet in the middle of the development cycle.
Will there be any classes? Can i become a sorcerer or a thief?
svar: No, but you can choose to play that way if you want. For early access launch, sorcery will not be available, but it will become available during the early access period.
Any assets you see that look like Age of Conan assets are actually completely remade from the original concepts. This is due to the fact that Unreal 4 uses PBR rendering and the original AoC assets were not suitable for this. This is also unfortunately the reason why we cannot backport these assets to AoC as well.
