Funcom has announced that Age of Conan has received the green light from Microsoft and is heading to the Xbox 360.
The massively multiplayer online game, which is already on the way for the PC, is now in development for the Xbox 360.
"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 perfectly. 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."
Age of Conan has already been winning awards in its PC incarnation, taking home the Best MMO of E3 award from numerous video game websites, and has been named as one of the top ten most anticipated PC games by PC Gamer US.
Information regarding publisher, release date and potential Xbox 360 specific features will be revealed at a later date. The PC version is expected in spring 2007.
