Announces Age of Conan: Rise of the Godslayer
First expansion for the
best-selling and critically acclaimed MMO Age of Conan
Funcom is proud to reveal Age of
Conan: Rise of the Godslayer, the first expansion for the critically acclaimed,
best-selling new MMO of 2008 `Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures’. Inspired by
the rich and colorful cultures of eastern Asia, `Rise of the Godslayer’ will
send players on a voyage through the Empire of Khitai where countless hours of
more brutal, sexy and savage adventure awaits. `Rise of the Godslayer’ not only
introduces a whole new storyline and a vast new world to explore, it also adds
new features such as faction gameplay and an alternate advancement system.
"Since the turn of the year the team
has been working hard on bringing the Empire of Khitai to life," says Craig
Morrison, Game Director and Executive Producer on `Rise of the Godslayer’. "Our
focus now is on expanding on the strengths of the game by providing massive new
regions of the world to explore, and the Empire of Khitai offers a whole new
perspective on the Conan lore and universe. `Age of Conan’ has evolved leaps and
bounds since its launch last year, and we are making sure to build on the
existing qualities and expand them further with the brand new content and
gameplay in `Rise of the Godslayer’."
`Rise of the Godslayer’ tells the
story of an Empire slowly spiraling into chaos, as a consequence of the actions
of a young Conan many years ago. After killing the Elephant God in the famous
Robert E. Howard story `The Tower of the Elephant’, strange and horrible things
have been happening to the Empire of Khitai. As a player you must explore the
dark roads of the Empire and walk the path of the Godslayer as you unravel a
mature and deep storyline full of brutal conflict and political intrigue.
