Age of Conan: The King is Coming

This week’s Friday update on the official Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures website points us to some of the last-minute content available around the web before the game goes live.

King Conan arrives tomorrow.

Word may already be trickling out, but we anticipate more as we free the journalists from our dark dungeons of despair. As part of the last push to launch, on Tuesday, at a movie theater here in Oslo, we presented the game to an eager and hungry crowd of journalists and some lucky fans.

If you want some idea of what went on, we’ve tracked down a video of the complete presentation from the enterprising young lads at TenTonHammer. All that was followed by a massive launch party at a newly-established Viking village in Holmenkollen.

Secondly, we love seeing what our fans can do. Very soon, we will throw open the gates and you will be free to make videos, take screenshots, and do everything else you can imagine with the game. As just a sampling of this, we’ve selected some of the finest player-made videos to be featured here on the community site. We can’t wait to see what you guys come up with once the game launches!

(Please note that these may contain adult/not work safe content, music, etc.)

• The City of Tortage
• The City of Tarantia
• Beta Gameplay Footage
• Character Creation
• The (Break the Chains) Quest
• Herald of Xotli footage
• Conquerer footage
• The mighty Tempest of Set in PvP
• Guardian footage
• Spinezor has a nice selection of class videos
• A Bear Shaman in PvP
• A small selection of some of the fatalities

Have you made something cool? Do you want internet fame and glory? Let us know in the forums.

Finally, We’ve dispatched our elite undercover agents to the very factories now churning away night and day, producing copy after copy of Age of Conan. We snuck away pictures and an exclusive movie of the production underway, so you can see that the King is coming, boxes are being packed, very nice people in factories are hand-packing your Collector’s Edition before it leaps into a box and embarks on its journey to you. The wait is almost over, Conan fans, as you can see in these pictures and in this short video.
