Age of Conan - Hyborian Adventures: Preview @ IGN

IGN's Dan Adams has his own, promising preview of FunCom's recently announced hybrid RPG/MMORPG, Age of Conan - Hyborian Adventures...

Our dear Governator out here in California once strode the land of Hyboria crushing the likes of Wilt Chamberlain and James Earl Jones with a single stroke of his mighty two handed sword. More importantly, the burly barbarian had a hot little Olivia D'Abo looking to jump all up his stuff. If that's not something to emulate, I don't know what is. While Arnie certainly popularized Conan beyond its previous appeal with the release of the movies, the actual fiction had been around for quite some time. In fact, Conan has been decapitating and eviscerating his enemies for around 70 years now. That's a pretty long career for a guy that started out as a wheel pushing slave. A new Conan movie, more comics, novels, anime, and McFarlane toys are all in the works, but most importantly to all of us game fans is the imminent arrival of the new Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures. This single player/online hybrid has a whole lot of promise. After getting a chance to hear more about the game, it's hard not to whistfully dream of running around Hyboria covered in nothing but a loincloth and blood. This is Conan after all.

First things first. You will not be able to play as Conan. Seems simple enough, right? As an online game everybody would want the honor of becoming the prime barbarian, but he's too busy being king of Aquilonia during the time period the game takes place. It's possible to visit and see the mighty one, in fact it's a goal, but players will have to carve their own destiny and fortune out of this unforgiving landscape.
