For those on the West Coast, Conan Exiles is actually coming a little early. For those in Europe, however, it may be later - or earlier - depending on what you expected.
Thanks to the magic of timezones and the way our Earth moves around in space, players on the US West Coast will gain access to the harsh sands of Conan Exiles at 9pm January 30 rather than rolling on over into January 31 as originally outlined.
Those in Europe shouldn't look forward to a midnight release on January 31 but can look forward to getting a half-decent nights sleep before venturing out to gather thralls at 6am GMT. Welcoming the countdown until release, Funcom has put out yet another video - this time, the cinematic opening for the game created by the fine folks over at Bläck Studios.
