Two new worlds are set to be added to Funcom’s Age of Conan, according to various reports.
Game director Craig Morrison hinted on the AoC forums last month that new content will be made available.
“This is where we get to the stuff we can’t quite talk about just yet…” he said, “Yes, a little teasing I know, but trust us, it is far more frustrating not being able to talk about what is coming just yet. These will be important updates, with two new and important elements incoming.”
Massively has already confirmed that the in-game player search tab now includes additional regions to filter searches. This has led users to believe new zones will be added in to the game: Turan and Ardashir, alongside the Hyborian provinces currently in-game.
Other speculations about further in-game content have been led by Funcom’s annual report which states the game will see story tie-ins relating to the upcoming Conan the Barbarian film being released this year.
Despite doing fairly well critically, Age of Conan still has a relatively low profile outside the realm of hardcore MMO fans so it will be good to see the game reinvigorated with new areas.
Its treatment on the big screen will without a doubt help things. Even if the film reached a Uwe Boll-like low, a bit of mainstream attention to the Conan universe is bound to breathe new life into the game.
