Age of Conan to launch on October 30
Forget the ambiguous “Spring 2007” release date. Funcom and Eidos have finally given Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures an official release date, and guess what? Both Funcom and Eidos have decided to “further hone the qualities of the game.” The new release date is set to October 30 and will “further ensure an online experience with truly stunning impact.”
Let’s take a while to read up on some marketing talk from CEO Trond Arne Aas:
Age of Conan brings something brand new and highly innovative to the MMO genre. Age of Conan today looks and plays fantastically, as countless press previews and industry feedback attest to. Even so, we believe that by spending even more time and effort into polishing and enhancing the game we will ensure that the game reaches its full potential in terms of quality and subscriber base.
We are confident that our fan base will appreciate this commitment to quality. The prolonged development time reflects our ambition to meet and exceed the expectations of our fans for this game.
Personally, I think they’re delaying it just so both the Xbox 360 and the PC versions get a simultaneous release, but hey, as long as the game delivers then I’m all for waiting a few more months. Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures is currently in closed beta, and Funcom will soon be announcing a unique chance to secure a spot in the open beta of the game.
