Fucom Launches Age of Conan: Rise of the Godslayer

Funcom is proud to announce the launch of ‘Age of Conan: Rise of the
Godslayer’, the expansion to the critically acclaimed, best-selling massively
multiplayer online game ‘Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures’. ‘Rise of the
Godslayer’ is now available in retail as a combined package that includes the
original game and the expansion, and is also available for purchase online for
players upgrading from the original game. ‘Rise of the Godslayer’ not only
introduces countless hours of new adventure through the addition of new lands
and dungeons, it also adds all-new gameplay features such as the faction system.

“We are very excited about seeing ‘Age of Conan’ back on the shelves in
retail as a renewed and revitalized experience comprised of both the original
game and the expansion, exactly two years after the launch of the original game
in May 2008,” says Funcom CEO Trond Arne Aas. “We feel very confident about the
level of quality offered in this expansion, and the initial reactions from press
and players so far only serve to confirm our confidence in the game.”

‘Age of Conan: Rise of the Godslayer’ is being distributed through retail by
CompuExpert in the US and by Deep Silver in the European markets, and is
available as an all-new combined package that includes both the original game
and the expansion so that even new players who might not own a previous copy of
the game can easily get started on their adventures through the new lands of
Khitai. It is also possible to upgrade an existing copy of ‘Age of Conan:
Hyborian Adventures’ to the expansion through the Funcom account management
system, or by purchasing the game in retail and upgrading with the key enclosed
in the box.

“We are very proud to be launching the expansion for Age of Conan,” says
Executive Producer and Game Director Craig Morrison. “This is the culmination of
a lot of hard work from the development team, and I think they have created a
wonderfully engaging experience for our players. We are really looking forward
to welcoming our players to Khitai!”

Launching in May 2008 ‘Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures’ quickly became a
smash hit in retail, shipping over 1.2 million copies around the world. In North
America, the most prominent online gaming market in the west, ‘Age of Conan:
Hyborian Adventures’ became the third best-selling PC title of the year in 2008.
In the weeks after launch ‘Age of Conan’ simultaneously topped the charts in 17
countries, and the game received critical acclaim from gaming press across the
globe. ‘Age of Conan’ is now available in English, French, German, Spanish,
Russian and Polish localized versions, and is being prepared for launch in Korea
as well.
