In other MMORPG news the barbarian based Age of Conan - Hyborian Adventures has been delayed and dated at the same time. Funcom and Eidos have marked down October 30, 2007 as the final date, just over five months later than the previous May 15, 2007 launch. The slight delay, although not confirmed directly, seems to have been added to give some overall polish to the title.
"Age of Conan is truly a labor of love for Funcom and I am proud and amazed at the accomplishments of our world class development team. The extra development time on Age of Conan will enable us to deliver a truly awesome MMO gaming experience – with next generation MMO-combat and a lush and vibrant world to live in," said Gaute Godager, founder of Funcom and Game Director on ‘Age of Conan’. "Now we can pack even more punch into the brutal world of Conan, and, by Crom, I feel certain that we will deliver a game that will appeal to a broad range of players as we introduce new features to the genre."
