Future outlook
The revenue and profit of Funcom depend on the performance of its existing games and future
games, in combination with the cost performance of the Company. The Company believes the
largest potential value drivers of the Company to be Conan Exiles, with Secret World Legends™
and its older live games continuing to bring solid revenues.
The Company intends to perform the following activities that may have a significant impact on the
revenues for the financial year 2017 and beyond:
· Q2 2017 – Relaunch of The Secret World as Secret World Legends
· Q3 2017 – Launch of Conan Exiles on the Xbox One Game Preview program together with
the release of a large content update to game. Summer seasonal sales for all products
· Q4 2017 – Halloween and Christmas seasonal sales for all products
· Q1 2018 – Full release of Conan Exiles for PC, Xbox One and Playstation 4

(From the Annual Report 2016, page 12)
This raises a few questions, because we know from experience we have to be extrem carefull with words here:
Is AoC a part of "all products"?
Does "seasonal sales" mean % off the ridicoulus item shop prices, hence sales IN the game?
Does "seasonal sales" mean sales OF the game, read speacial sub offers?
100 atlantean shards on claim.
Double shards from RF boxes
Free lvl 80 + free char slot
Shadows of the Past questline is back (Old Tar sewers)
new RF rings for left finger with exact same stats as right finger just different name and 2 new gem slots besides the chaos slot.
I would be somewhat OK with more rings if only we could get shards from real raids and instances. Now it's just more overpowered **** as reward for doing some of the worst content the game has to offer.
Can't say I'm impressed, but wasn't expecting anything at all, so I guess its .. something?
I'm pleasantly surprised!
It turns out the game is not absolutely neglected. This means that also in the future we will be able to receive small updates and fixes.
I'm sure, if the player base will rise rather than fall, we can get more serious updates also.
Im sorry to break your spirit but adding virtual items that requires a couple of minutes of work, to continue the ongoing RF grind, is not a sign of giving us more serious updates. Its rather the opposite, they give us more cool toys so we can continue to play alone in their absence.
