Age of Conan delayed once more

Two-month delay will give developers more time for quality assurance

January 21, 2008

Funcom has revealed that Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures has been delayed until May 20, 2008.

Age of Conan was originally scheduled for release in March. Funcom says it will use the extra two months to ensure quality by working on bugs in the product and ensuring that the game's servers are ready for subscribers to play.

The highly-anticipated MMORPG brings players into the world of Conan the Barbarian — a fiction that dates back to 1932 when Robert E. Howard first wrote of Conan.

Age of Conan puts you in the middle of its famous heroic fantasy world.

The new release date applies to the PC version of the game. Age of Conan is also set for release on the Xbox 360, although no date has been set. The Xbox release is expected a few months after the PC version gets underway.
