Funcom Explains Increased Genital Customization in Conan Exiles Enhanced Edition
Funcom has released a free Enhanced Edition upgrade for the survival game Conan Exiles, featuring significant visual overhauls using Unreal Engine technology. A notable and widely discussed aspect of this update is the expansion of the character customization options, specifically allowing players to make genitalia larger via the 'endowment slider.' In response to inquiries, Funcom explained that this change was a deliberate, humorous nod to the attention the original slider received at launch. The developer emphasized their commitment to maintaining the mature, nude-inclusive aesthetic consistent with the Conan universe, aiming to evoke nostalgia for long-time players. The update has successfully revitalized interest in the eight-year-old title, resulting in a spike to 30,000 daily concurrent users on Steam, marking its highest engagement since 2022. Conan Exiles remains distinct in the survival genre for its optional full nudity, group-based combat, and mythological elements. This release underscores the enduring appeal of the game's controversial yet iconic features, blending technical improvements with community-driven inside jokes.
