Something wonderful. . .
Seriously, very big things are happening with Conan, so these two titles (along with a couple of adventures) have been temporarily postponed.
It will all make sense soon, and it will all be Good.

I would like to think we have lived up to expectations on the Conan line up to now.

The Conan line ROCKS!
I totally agree - the game is awesome and I support it by buying the books and promoting the releases on conan.com. I'm just saying that we have gnawed the hell out of the once a year 'big things are coming" bone Matt tosses to us rabid fans. Why not mix up the same old message, like this:
Things are going to be different around here in a few months. The status quo as you know it is going to change. The website, the color books are back and like Yag-kosha flying across space & time we know the future and guarantee you this will not be your daddy's Conan.
Now that has some meat us fans can fight over.

True!
Unfortunately, I really cannot give away any hints at the moment - however, the disappearence of Empires and the other books deserved an explanation.

No later than November
Only someone involved with the marketing of rpgs could possibly regard November as 'soon'.
And to be honest cryptic (even Delphic) utterances such as 'all will be good', 'very big things' and 'something wonderful' are just plain annoying.
If you know, speak plainly. If not keep quiet. If you know but for some bizarre reason cannot speak plainly, keep quiet.
Frankly, if Mongoose know what these 'big things' are now then they should just say. Unless of course the reason they're not saying is because d20 based Conan sales will likely plummet (yes, I know a few folk will get the stuff while they can, but new sales won't be likely if the line is doomed) if a percentile based game is to be released.
Mongoose isn't the only rpg company with the strange idea that vague mutterings are somehow worthwhile. I don't want to be seen as singling them out for that reason. It is a disease that afflicts most small-medium sized rpg companies.

You cannot "temporarily postpone" a d20 crunch book as Thief Companion...unless you keep d20 as the Conan system (or one othe Conan systems)...
...I hate these kinds of announcements...Matt, please next time do not speak! (..and keep Conan a d20 game..)

Hmmm... guess we will have to wait and see. But it makes me a bit leary of a change to Conan. Like a new rule set or something. I can't think of another reason they would pull books this close to being out. I mean maybe going back to all color but that doesn't seem likely.
Hopefully it is not a new rule set, but as I said, guess we will have to wait and see.
