Funcom has announced that Age of Conan has raced off the starting blocks and now has more than half a million customers. The normal edition of the PC MMO has sold out in many retail outlets and the game is already one of the biggest ever Western MMO titles.
In Germany, Age of Conan is No.1 in the all-format and PC chart, while in the UK the game is No.2 in the all formats, only beaten by GTA 4. The game is the biggest launch for a PC title this year in the UK, earning the biggest ever MMO launch outside of the World of Warcraft franchise.
In Sweden and Norway the game is at No.1 in both the PC and all-formats charts. In Spain and Italy the game reigns supreme in the PC chart, while in Australia the game is at No.1 for PC and No.2 on all-formats.
There’s currently no official data for North America, but Funcom has confirmed that the sales rank it as one of the most successful PC launches in the territory.
“The current momentum and sales are simply awe-inspiring, and it’s great that so many gamers and retailers are helping us to make Age of Conan the MMO sensation of the year,” said Morten Larssen, VP of Sales and Marketing at Funcom. “As more charts and figures come in from additional markets, we expect to see a similar trend there too.”
