Funcom and SCi/Eidos push back release date

Crom laughs at your four winds
Funcom has announced that they will be co-publishing Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures with SCi/Eidos. The MMORPG, based on the pulp fantasy series created by Robert E. Howard, is now expected to be launched between March and May of 2007 and is currently in the Beta phase of development. Plans are also in place to port the game to next-gen consoles.

"We have strong faith in the sales potential for 'Age of Conan', and by combining the knowledge and reach of both SCi/Eidos and Funcom we believe the game will become a great success," said Ian Livingstone, Product Acquisition Director of Eidos. "The many E3 awards, the extensive worldwide press coverage, the vibrant online player community, the strong global brand and Funcom's extensive MMO experience are all factors which bode well for the future of 'Age of Conan', and we will do our best to contribute to making it into a successful MMO franchise in the years to come." - Funcom

Age of Conan is shaping up to be well worth looking out for, promising a radically different approach to combat in a glutted fantasy MMORPG market. But will it be be competitive against the likes of World of Warcraft and Ever"never-say-die"Quest?
