Funcom and Eidos Interactive have confirmed that the MMO game, Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures, based on everyone favorite hulking savage, Conan the Barbarian, has gone gold.

“Age of Conan has been in development for a long time, as with all MMOs, but we have spent that time well and ended up with a game we are incredibly proud of,” says Funcom CEO Trond Arne Aas. “Creating a game of such epic proportions is an ambitious and challenging task, but we believe we have truly succeeded in realizing the vision of the game. We simply can’t wait to let the players in and let them experience the amazing adventures we have created.”

After years of development and testing, Age of Conan is now finally ready for prime time! To prepare for launch, tens of thousands of players have tested the Beta, enabling Funcom to polish the game prior to going live. Age of Conan launches May 20th in North America and May 23rd in Europe.
