For fans of theConan the Barbariancomic, theIsle of Siptahhas a direct tie to a story written by L. Sprague de Camp and Lin Carter. In the story “The Gem in the Tower” Conan ventures to a mysterious nameless isle. Within a tower on the island lies a mystical jewel guarded by an evil sorcerer named Siptah. Naturally, everything goes wrong and Conan is left battling for his life against Siptah’s magic, including a winged demon. He discovers his way into Siptah’s tower nonetheless, only to find something all the more surprising.
To build some excitement for the upcoming release of theIsle of Siptahexpansion, Funcom is trying to bring back as many players as possible toConan Exile. From now through September 14,Conan Exilesis free-to-play on Steam. Funcom is clearly hoping that setting food in the world ofConan Exileswill be enough to persuade players to be part of the first wave ofIsle of Siptahplayers viaSteam Early Access.
Conan Exiles: Isle of Siptahlaunches in Early Access on September 15 on PC, with a full release on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox planned in early 2021.
