Since 2006 this game is one of the most expected MMO-s ever and it seems that the dream will come true for the PC users sometime in March 2008. A barbaric, lush and sinful universe might be the difference Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures brings to the gamers' community. But let's take a closer look at the most important features this already multi-awarded game has.

The main goal of this game is to enter a fantasy universe, filled with barbarians, mages and ancient
creatures, to meet the well known Conan along with his friends and foes and to become the best Barbarian in the world, by defeating, in the end, Conan himself. But this won't be easy, since the game world contains 30 distinct regions, including cities, dungeons, mountains, deserts or deep jungles.

The graphics rise to the challenge, together with an epic soundtrack available for 7.1 surround systems. All these come hand in hand with the most brutal MMO ever created, regarding both the storyline and the gameplay - players will have full customization options when it comes to character creation and even city building!

The player will be able to enter the single-player campaign, with the story written by the same people behind The Longest Journey, Dreamfall and Anarchy Online, so it sounds quite promising. Of course, the Massively Multiplayer option is what most of us want to see, with PvP and PvE being available (this means that you can either enjoy smashing fellow human players in mini-games, sieges, arena fights and drunken brawls or fight monsters in groups).

And last, but not least, Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures promises to bring mature online players something dark, new and refreshing. This game, as an official press release stats, is "made by grown-ups, for grown-ups, giving online gamers the chance to unleash the ultimate havoc and fury." Bring it on!
