Conan Pushed Back (Again) News

By Jon Wilcox on 21/01/2008 Funcom announces more polishing time for the upcoming MMO; Hyborian Adventures due to start on May 20th...

Originally planned for release in early 2006(!) before getting pushed back to Christmas and then 2007 - first of all March, then May, then October - and finally March 2008, Funcom has today confirmed yet another delay to Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures.

The extra time will be spent polishing the last few broadswords and warhammers in Hyboria, before the world originally created by Robert E. Howard is finally let loose on May 20th.

"The companies standing apart in the gaming market today are those with a relentless drive to achieve quality. Even though we regret delaying the launch, I am certain we made the right choice. I hope that our followers and fans will support our decision, and respect our commitment to quality," said Gaute Godager, Producer and Game Director of Age of Conan.

Funcom currently has the MMO rights to the Conan brand until 2018 - and a good thing too if the ongoing delays are anything to go by.

Regardless of what you think, the teens will still play it.

This is, hands down, the best MMORPG out there when it comes to gameplay, immersion, and mature content and players. No more irritating 13 year olds!

Check out the Funcom website. They shipped 700,000 copies to retail, but a recent press release maintains that over 400,000 have logged on and started playing since it released.

Erm...where did you get the information from in this article? Common knowledge is that the game sold over 700 000 copies (110 000 of those collectors editions) on the first day of release, meaning that it beat WoW's North American & European release sales by over 170 000 on the first day. It therefore does not pale in comparison to WoW's initial sales, but beat it by quite a margin...

Dang, this has been delayed so much that I almost forgot about it. Looks like they've improved on it, but it still needs work. I think that's why they moved the release back yet again.

this says the 360 version will release the same time as the pc version which is incorrect, if the pc version releases march 25th (which it will probably be pushed back again) then the 360 version will most likely come out around september.

It's nice to see that they stuck to the gritty dark world of R.E. Howard. They could have toned it down for children like so many other games. It's nice to see a PC game geared to an older generation.
