Age of Conan PC Goes Gold

27
The oft-delayed PC edition of Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures has gone gold and entered the manufacturing process, developer Funcom and publisher Eidos had announced.

Complete with nipples and over-the-top violence, the mature MMO is slated to launch on May 20 in North America, with a European release following on May 23. An Xbox 360 edition will arrive at a later, unspecified date.

"Age of Conan has been in development for a long time, as with all MMOs, but we have spent that time well and ended up with a game we are incredibly proud of," said Funcom CEO Trond Arne Aas. "We believe we have truly succeeded in realizing the vision of the game."

      I really think digital distribution is the way to go with MMOs. Its not like they don't force you to download gigs of patches anyway.

      You preorder the box, and you get to DL the game prior to the "3 day headstart".
      you get to pick up your box on the 21st, but you can start playing the 17th.
