Funcom has announced the launch of Age of Conan: Rise of the Godslayer, the expansion to the 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!”
