Age of Conan Collectors Edition Revealed

Eidos and Funcom have revealed the contents of the Collectors Edition for the Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures MMO which will be available for purchase from game shops and online retailers starting the 25th of March 2008. It's worth noting that this special edition will be printed only in one batch, meaning that it might (and probably will) be unavailable for those who don't buy it in time.

Coming with a retail price of $89.95, Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures Collectors Edition will include a selection of Conan collectibles. So the ones who will buy it will get exclusive in-game items such as the Ring of Acheronia, offering special stamina and XP enhancements to the players, and The Drinking Cape, a fun item that allows you to get free drinks in any tavern around the game world. Eye catchy bonuses such as a Hand-finished Collectors Edition Box, a Bonus DVD, the official Age of Conan Soundtrack or the Art Book will be available for the buyers. Also, it contains five Free Guest Passes offering your friends the opportunity to play the game for free for a limited (and unspecified) amount of time.

"We are very proud to present such a striking and distinctive Collectors Edition for the countless Conan and MMO fans," said Robert Lindsey, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Eidos. "Those fortunate enough to secure this limited edition pack will find many authentically crafted Conan mementos to treasure for years to come."

Morten Larssen, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Funcom, added: "Together with Eidos we have therefore put a substantial amount of work into this Collectors Edition, ensuring that every single piece is of the highest possible quality. This is surely the be-all, end-all edition of Age of Conan, and we hope that our players will cherish what we have created for them."
