New ‘Conan Exiles’ Expansion Brings Eldritch Horrors Into Play
Funcom’s Conan Exiles MMO has been kicking around since 2017, and is set to get a new expansion pack later this week. What makes it even more special is the fact that the Isle of Siptah expansion will bring Lovecraftian eldritch horrors into the game for you to cleave.
Releasing into Early Access on PC on September 15th, Conan Exiles: Isle of Siptah is the first major expansion for the game. Isle of Siptah sees you travelling to the fabled Isle of Siptah, featuring more than a dozen new dungeons known as vaults, “surges of sorcery that spawn vile creatures and NPCs, and an ominous dark tower surrounded by a magical storm.” Players will also now will be able to summon portals that forcibly pull NPCs from the Exiled Lands and onto the island. This is turn will have players competing for these opportunities, “creating bloody conflict and an all-new gameplay loop.”
Isle of Siptah also comes with two new building sets, allowing you to construct pirate-themed towns. You’ll also have access to a brand-new mount in the form of a rhinoceros. Acquiring the game in early access will even grant you a limited edition War-torn Rhino Mount Skin. The new building sets and mounts will also be accessible on the base game map, as long as you have Isle of Siptah installed.
Conan Exiles is currently available on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Come Face to Face With the Zombie Menace in the Story Trailer for ‘Zombie Army VR’ [Watch]
While there’s no definitive release date just yet, Rebellion is teasing fans with a new story trailer for the upcoming Zombie Army VR, which is expected to arrive later this year. The new trailer gives fans and prospective players a glimpse at the Zombie Army VR story campaign, which as you might have guessed, involves occult magic, waves of zombies, and plenty of headshots.
The game’s campaign takes place alongside the events of the Zombie Army series, and sees you take to the field as one of the Deadhunters, an elite squad that is hunting down zombie war criminals. You must fight your way through undead hordes near the bombed-out city of Nuremberg to help Captain Hermann Wolff, the Deadhunter’s legendary leader, find his scattered family and fight to free Europe from the zombie apocalypse.
As you navigate the full-length story campaign either alone or with an ally, you’ll have access to an arsenal of authentic World War II weaponry, including sniper rifles, submachine guns, pistols and more. As one would expect, VR brings a new level of immersion to the action of the Zombie Army series, which will require you to “get to grips” with using your hands to aim your rifle, dual-wield your side arm with a submachine gun, master reloading drills, and tossing grenades.
Zombie Army VR is currently in development for the PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest 2, 3, Pro, Oculus Rift and PC headsets via Steam.
