That’s right, that’s exactly what I meant by that title. Funcom has just unveiled Conan Exiles Enhanced, a gargantuan overhaul to the base game that’s coming for free on May 5th to all existing owners on Steam. It’s a monumental thing that upgrades the game to UE5, enhances the base UI, introduces new building mechanics, and much more.
It also brings a major feature that’s dubbed ‘Enhanced Endowment Slider.’ If you’re at all familiar with Conan Exiles, the nearly ten-year-old survival title, you’ll know what the team means by that…
Bigger, Better Weapons in Conan Exiles Enhanced
Now, let me preface this by saying that the press release for Conan Exiles Enhanced doesn’t explain what the Enhanced Endowment Slider is. Therefore, it’s up to us to imagine exactly what that could mean.
It’s worth stressing that the entire release and mood board for the Enhanced upgrade is super serious, talking about the wonderful overhaul to the game’s base make-up, the new UI, the enhanced engine, and so on, and then in the corner, you’ve got penises.
Even the huge FAQ for the upgrade doesn’t mention the new slider feature. We’re truly being kept in the dark about this until May 5th, when the update arrives.
In case you’re unfamiliar with Conan Exiles, I’ll explain how it’s a brutal and unabashed game that doesn’t sugarcoat anything about the harsh world you’re forced to survive in. You start your journey buck naked, and when crafting your character, you get to choose how well-equipped you are in the most intimate way possible.
It looks like Funcom has expanded on that concept, introducing the Enhanced Endowment Slider. In the small image that occupied the top corner of the mood board, all we can see is something rather large, obscured by a black box.
Is it something artistic? Are we talking deeper customization, or controlling the angles of things? Is this like Cyberpunk 2077, and we’re about to have artisanal pubic hair? The mind boggles.
It’s worth pointing out that not everything is getting bigger in Conan Exiles Enhanced. The base game’s install size has been slashed by two-thirds, going from 120 GB down to a measly 40 GB. How ironic!
