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.

Seems like a day never goes by without some game being delayed.

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.
What's next? TED NUGENT!?!

Crap. That just means it'll be a longer delay until we get more info on The Secret World.

I love Robert E. Howard's Conan more than life itself, but if im not the titular barbarian/cimmerian I dont know how much fun I could have. WFRP FTW!!!

The MMO market is certainly becomming crowded. I wonder how much new games grow the market and how much they draw from established games.
