Funcom game director Gaute Godager has issued an apology to Age of Conan fans over on the game’s official forum.
The apology begins by stating that a delay was never planned, with the team’s intention having always been to launch in October. It was a tough decision to make, but Godager believes a delay was the correct course of action.
“But what happens when you learn that the game you have needs more development time?” said Godager. “Do you continue to force through towards a release, like we did with Anarchy Online? This time we did the right thing. I am proud by the fact that we work in a company that knows what the game truly needs, and are willing to follow and support the best interest of the game.“
Godager also offered reassurance to fans of the game that the delay doesn’t mean Age of Conan is now being dumbed down to appeal to the masses.
“We are NOT changing the vision! It stays the same! Not dumber, not less deep or complex, but less convoluted,” writes Godager.
The Funcom game director also cleared up any confusion over the Xbox 360 version, noting that the PC delay will also delay the console release, although was unable to offer a new release date.
Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures is scheduled for release on PC on March 25, 2008.
