New ‘Age of Conan’ Pack Ties in with Conan Movie

Funcom recently announced that there will be new content to Age of Conan that will tie together the game and the upcoming movie, Conan the Barbarian. Set 20 years after the movie storyline, the new adventure pack, The Savage Coast of Turan, finds players being sent by Conan, now King of Aquilonia, to aid his old ally Artus. The pack will include, but is not limited to, content from the movie and will allow players to follow even more epic storylines in Conan’s realm.

“We have worked closely with the Funcom creative team since 2003 and carefully crafted a unique look and feel for Conan’s world,” says Conan the Barbarian Producer and Paradox CEO Fredrik Malmberg. “Many of the concepts, locations and designs from the game development were utilized by the film team for consistency, and we are thrilled that many elements of the film, distributed by Lionsgate in the US and UK, will feel familiar to the Age of Conan players.”

Slated for an August 19, 2011 release, Conan the Barbarian will tell the tale of Conan and his adventures across Hyboria. The Savage Coast of Turan will launch players on exciting adventures, as they help Artus unravel the conspiracy surrounding the city of Ardashir in Turan. The pack will add all new encounters, the massive area of Ardashir, new dungeons and raids, as well as armor sets and monsters that you might have already seen in the movie trailer.

“We’re excited to see the movie and the game combined in this brand new content,” says Executive Producer for Age of Conan, Craig Morrison. “Being able to draw upon the characters, storylines, weapons, and monsters from the movie is tremendously exciting, and it will definitely compliment the wealth of content that already exists within the Age of Conan game world.”

About the Author
Summer has been a comic book junkie since the age of 13 when she stole her 7-year old brother's first three issues of the Claremont/Lee run of the X-Men. On his birthday. Right after he unwrapped them. It's been all downhill from then on.

Besides being way too into comics, Summer enjoys nerding out over various movies and television shows (Supernatural, Lost, and Doctor Who to mention a few), listening to music, and adding to her massive book collection.

Currently, she's looking for a college or university where she can finish her double major in Art History and Art Therapy and getting her work into various art galleries, all while trying to survive working in a cubicle jungle.
