Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures Update
Age of Conan : Hyborian Adventures is looking good, and it will only get better once they get closer to releasing it. Funcom recently revealed that the class system of Age of Conan will include classes such as the Bear Shaman, Lotus Master, Waylayer, Herald of Xotli, and Scion of Set. Click here for the full official post by Funcom. More recently, it was revealed that Age of Conan will be optimized for the upcoming Windows Vista operating system. So it will use the latest technology. You can expect Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures to be released in the fourth quarter of this year.
The opportunity to start fresh is particularly interesting as Funcom is presenting this title as the “ultimate representation of the Conan universe” including everything from all of the fiction surrounding the character. Gods, mythical creatures, Atlanteans… you name it, you got it. Those that have a large knowledge base will have a great time exploring and finding reference to Conan’s deeds and even go through some of them. Players unfamiliar will undoubtedly have fun simply exploring a rich and vibrant world. I myself am not familiar with the Conan fiction beyond a couple of books and thousands of hours watching the movies on video and TNT, but if the screens are any indication of what the final product will be like, it’ll be a hell of an adventure.
There are a few really cool features about Conan that I’m particularly interested in that potentially set it apart from the typical online RPG. The first is that the game will actually begin as a single player experience. Up until around level 20 when the single player experience ends and characters enter into the larger world of Hyboria, they will follow a deep storyline that gives them purpose as a singular character and being. This isn’t just a simple tutorial add-on to the multiplayer game.
