Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures screenshots: Wild Lands of Zelata

By Crom! New Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures (PC, Xbox 360) screenshots from Funcom! These screenshots from the MMORPG curently feature The Wild Lands of Zelata, a land named after the witch Zelata whom King Conan had once asked for council.

The said territory is found within a valley and is known to be a place of refuge for those who wish to get away from bustling cities. Multiple settlements have popped up in this land, and these settlements are protected by hunters, as well as the odd patrol of soldiers who defend  the dwellings from wild beasts and Bandits. The land is temperate due to its location, and well-sheltered from the harsh winters and climate changes that plague other lands, so it’s not unknown to find a lot of new settlers coming in.

Recently, Dark Beasts have been discovered wondering just beyond the edges of the settlements and have been killing off some of the villagers and travelers who encounter them. The creatures have been getting bolder of late, taking down entire villages in their bestial wrath. Survivors of these attacks have sought refuge in the hamlet of Tesso but it’s only a matter of time until the creatures find and destroy the said hamlet.

The screenshots themselves look very pretty and they really showcase the impressive graphics of the game. From what we’ve seen, they’ve really captured the essence of the untamed and forested lands that Robert E. Howard envisioned. So far the closed beta of the game is still in progress, with the technical beta just kicking off recently. Stay tuned for more updates on Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventure here on QJ.
