Age of Conan Coming to the 360! KROM!!!
This past August, on a trip to take part in DragonCon, we brought you a preview of Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures and even managed to snag an interview with the lead designer. I sat in on a demo of the game and I was floored. When asked what platforms it would arrive on, we were told PC. Well, now it would seem the highly anticipated MMORPG is on it’s way to the Xbox 360!
Here’s what Funcom CEO, Trond Arne Aas, had to say about this:
“This is a groundbreaking leap forward for Funcom. The fact that we now get the chance to develop ‘Age of Conan’ for the Xbox 360 means access to a potentially whole new and large MMO market,” said Trond Arne Aas, CEO of Funcom. “The fast-paced and innovative combat system in ‘Age of Conan’ will suit the demanding console audience perfect. We believe the amazing online capabilities of Xbox 360 will be a great match for MMOs like ‘Age of Conan’, and as one of a handful officially approved MMO games for the console we aim to create a unique, brutal and powerful online gaming experience.”
The title won ‘Best MMO of E3’ awards from IGN, GameSpot, GameSpy and Yahoo. The game was also a runner-up to the ‘Most Innovative Game of Show’ E3 award from Gamespot, and PC Gamer US named it as one of their top 10 most anticipated PC games.
Check it out, I promise you it’s a title to keep your eye on! Make sure you read the preview and post your thoughts, here.
