It's impossible to think of Robert E. Howard's iconic Cimmerian barbarian without also thinking of the brutal, lawless, and lewdly wanton Hyborian Age in which Conan dwells. That's exactly the tact Norwegian-based Funcom plans to take with the upcoming Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures, a fully fledged massively multiplayer online role-playing game in which players delve into a world lorded over by Conan the king. |
