The age of Conan will begin eight weeks late. Funcom has announced that its visceral MMO Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures, originally due at the end of March, has a new release date of May 20. The company cites further polish as the reason for the delay, but we suspect they just wanted to keep up with a never-ending trend of "final" delays for the award-winning title that had an impressive showing at E3 ... 2006.
The new release date could put the game against another highly-anticipated MMO, Electronic Arts' Warhammer Online, although our sister site Massively points out there are rumblings of a fall 2008 delay for Warhammer. Check out our impressions of Age of Conan from this month's Consumer Electronics Show.

Well, I would rather have it delayed than rushed to the market before it's ready. Although I am getting pissed of at all these damn delays.

That creature reminds me of the El Gigante from Resident Evil 4 after he's fallen into that fire hole. And somehow lost weight.

That's just GREAT. They expect players to fight against GIANT CREATURES OF PURE FLAME.
