Conan the Barbarian is a property that’s been around since the 1980s. You may remember a young Arnold Schwarzenegger walking around the desert with his chest puffed out. However, up until rather recently, there has never been a video game adaption of this property that truly satisfied Conan fans. Well, with the introduction of Conan Exiles in May 2018, fans finally had a way to immerse themselves in the world of Conan, begin life as an exile, and battle for survival as they traverse the various harsh environments and biomes of the world.
Conan Exiles is a game that has remained popular years after its release and has allowed players to create tribes, explore a vast open world, and battle the hulking beasts made famous within the franchise. It’s a fantastic game and for that reason, we at Conan Fanatics want to give you all the tools to begin your adventure and thrive in this new, unforgiving world.
Our Team is the best of the best when it comes to all things Conan Exiles. Our team is jam-packed full of the most prominent Conan Exiles streamers, content creators, and games journalists out there.

Our Team
Now it’s time to meet the team. These talented individuals began in the desert, naked and afraid just like you. They worked hard, grinded away, and became barbarians in their own right. Not only that, but they can also string a sentence or two together. These people are the ideal candidates for this project and despite being separated by time zones, cultures, and backgrounds, they all share one common goal. Creating a comprehensive encyclopedia for Conan Exiles players. Meet the team below:
Eradication
- Favorite Indie Game: Valheim
- Favorite MMO: Runescape 3
- Favorite Video Game Character: Booker DeWitt (Bioshock Infinite), Raiden (Metal Gear) or Arthur Hastings (We Happy Few), pretty tough choice
- Favorite Video Game Score: Valheim
- Favorite In-Game World: The not-so-cheerful dystopia of We Happy Few
Emily Parker
Outside of a screen, Emily is an avid rock climber, scuba diver, trail runner, snowboarder, kayaker, and horseback rider. If Aloy can do it, she wants to as well. She worked in the music industry for almost ten years, writing when the season was slow. When the pandemic hit she took quarantine as an opportunity to beef up her writing profile, with traveling full time on her mind. Now she travels the USA in an RV with her partner, chihuahua, and cat overlord (Zoe). If it looks like an adventure, she’s on her way!
- Favorite Video Game Characters: Bayonetta and Aloy, I have a tattoo sleeve of each
- Favorite Video Game of All Time: World of Warcraft, will we ever get that feeling back?
- Video Game You Wished Existed: Possibly unachievable answer: An MMORPG with heavy survival influence, massive (probably needs to be ai generated) buildable world. Does anyone remember the attempt at Everquest Next? I would like a billionaire to take up the cause. NO fast travel. VR? Call me Elon.
- Achievable answer: I would like to play as a cat. I was obsessed with Lion King SNES Rom.
- Video Game You Own and NEED to Finish: Assasin’s Creed: Odyssey, It’s really embarrassing that I haven’t been able to touch Valhalla
- Conan Exiles Hot Take: I love the score, but there really shouldn’t be combat music. Don’t tell the devs, but the warning has saved me too many times.
We hope that your time spent on Conan Fanatics is enjoyable and informative and when you pick up the controller again, we hope our content serves you well.
