The world of Conan Exiles continues to grow! Earlier this year, Conan Exiles Enhanced arrived, giving the entire game a new coat of paint and plenty of new content. Now, the new content keeps on coming with the newest addition to Conan Exiles, the Legacy of the Giant-Kings. This is a new four-part story arc that will roll out over time, and we've got the information you need on when it starts, what's included, and more.

What is Included in Legacy of the Giant-Kings Part 1?

The first part of the Legacy of the Giant-Kings arrives in Conan Exiles on July 21. With it, an all-new dungeon arrives beneath the Unnamed City: the Cyclopean Halls. You and your friends can head into this new dungeon in search of new challenges, gear, and to uncover the mysteries of the Giant-Kings. Alongside this new dungeon, a new gameplay feature has also been added: Legendary Repair. This has been requested by the community for a long time. That's right! Now your rarest and most powerful gear can be made whole once more. While this is good news, perhaps it's a sign of bigger things to come. If legendary gear is repairable, what enormous threats are in store during the rest of the Legacy of the Giant-Kings? As mentioned above, the full story for this additional content will be split into four parts. Each part of the Giant-Kings saga is a free update. They'll all include story content regarding the ancient secrets stirring beneath the Exiled Lands. Additionally, you can expect new challenges, rewards, and further gameplay updates with each new portion of the story. The developers have said the remaining three parts of the Giant-Kings story will arrive over the coming months. For now, head to the Cyclopean Halls dungeon with your crew and learn everything you can about the ancient secrets of the Giant-Kings!
