Conan Exiles, the new sandbox action game from Funcom, is unlikely to get a Nintendo Switch version, it seems. Game director Joel Bylos told DualShockers that the studio currently has no plans to bring Conan Exiles to Nintendo Switch and has had no conversations with Nintendo.
Also in the interview, Bylos confirmed that Conan Exiles is already running on Xbox One internally. The game "looks pretty good," DualShockers reported, though Bylos apparently said the control system still needs work.
An in-development version of Conan Exiles is due out for Xbox One through the console's Game Preview system later this year. The game is already available on PC through Steam Early Access; it sold 320,000 copies in just one week after it was released earlier this year.
Conan Exiles is also coming to PlayStation 4, but a release date for Sony's system has not been announced.

Each week we search and gather up the coolest comic book art you won't see in actual comics. The reason you won't is because professional artists often draw sketches for fun or commissions and post them on their websites, blogs, and Tumblrs. Some artists even arrange commissions through their sites so be sure to check them out. This is a way to see the artists working on one book draw characters from other comics or publishers.
Paolo Rivera posted a Thing commission on his blog this week.
Chris Samnee posted a Rocket Raccoon sketch on his Instagram.
Auto-selfies in Final Fantasy XV were one of the game's more memorable features. Whether party member Prompto completely messed up a shot or took a pic suitable for framing, it was always entertaining sorting through his pics when the party took a camping break. The video below features an in-depth talk at GDC 2017, where FFXV party AI lead designer Prasert Prasertvithyakarn spoke at length about the game's photography system.
By 2016, selfies were not uncommon in games since you can trace its use at least as far back as The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD and Grand Theft Auto V. Final Fantasy XV and this talk illustrates that there's still a lot of room for evolution.
Even major Hollywood actors have to audition for movies, and it doesn't always go well. Rogue One and Doctor Strange star Mads Mikkelsen has revealed that he walked out of the audition for 2015's superhero flop Fantastic Four.
"I think I walked out on Fantastic Four," Mikkelsen told Shortlist. "I think I actually said, 'I can't do it. It's not about you, I'm sorry, this is wrong.'"
Mikkelsen went on to talk about the often bizarre and disheartening experience of auditioning for movies and TV. "I've had tons of them," he said. "We've all been there. We all show up and it's a little office room with a desk and some books and they want you to do a scene where you have two lines--maybe not even two lines--maybe just 'Bleurgh!' or 'Get back!'
"And you're hiding behind a palm tree that's not there. It's like, "Guys, couldn't you have picked a different kind of scene to this? This is f***ing mad.' You feel like an idiot."
While Mikkelsen didn't state which role in Fantastic Four he was auditioning for, an interview earlier this year suggests that it was to play Reed Richards aka Mr. Fantastic. TV3 stated that "after being asked in the casting office to pretend to extend his arms like a rubber man, he was so embarrassed that he thought, 'I can't do this anymore.'"
Fantastic Four hit theaters in August 2015. It only grossed $167 million worldwide, and Fox's plans for a sequel were quickly abandoned. Nevertheless, producer Simon Kinberg recently spoke about his hopes that another movie will happen.
"I think the truth is we would not make another Fantastic Four movie until it was ready to be made," Kinberg told Collider. "One of the lessons we learned on that movie is that we want to make sure we get it 100 percent right, because we will not get another chance with the fans."
