Funcom is actively supporting Conan Exiles Enhanced with free content updates and preparing to launch Dune: Awakening on PS5 in September 2026, with a new single-player mode.
Funcom has two major projects in motion. The studio, alongside Inflexion Games, announced a four-part free story arc for Conan Exiles Enhanced called Legacy of the Giant-Kings. Part 1 arrives July 21, 2026, sending players beneath the nameless city. The update also adds the Legendary Repair Kit, a feature the community had requested. Three more free updates will follow over several months. The announcement came after Conan Exiles Enhanced hit a peak concurrent player count of 47,949.
On the Dune side, Funcom revealed during Sony's State of Play stream on June 3, 2026, that the PS5 version of Dune: Awakening will launch on September 22, 2026. The open-world survival game, based on Frank Herbert's Dune novel series, has been available on Windows via Steam since June 2025. The PS5 version is being positioned as a definitive edition that includes a brand-new single-player mode, a new chapter in the main story, and various additional improvements. Pre-orders opened the day of the announcement. The Xbox Series X|S version was previously announced but no release date was given for that platform during the stream.

Funcom and Astrolabe Interactive released "Discovery & Ancestry" on August 27, 2026, the final major content update for the early access period of the sky-island survival game "Aloft." The update introduces Wind Spirits, companions that help players control wind power for aerial travel and exploration. New sub-biomes include lush jungles, snow-covered regions, grasslands, and deep forests, along with dynamic events such as dense fog, tornadoes, and asteroid fields. The game engine has been upgraded from Unity 2021 to Unity 6, improving performance and visuals, and the user interface has been redesigned. The update also abolishes zones, making the game a fully open world, a change made in response to player feedback that they felt they were following a set path. New features include "Ancient Memories," a system where players learn skills from ancestors to unlock character enhancements like a second hotbar or tracking creature locations. Players can also build with new parts, including highly requested storage facilities, and cultivate new plants. The development team will fix issues in this update before focusing on the version 1.0 official release. A Steam sale runs until September 8, with the game discounted 30% from 3,040 yen to 2,128 yen.
