Funcom, a leading developer of multi award-winning games like Anarchy Online and The Longest Journey, has licensed SpeedTree for their upcoming Online Action RPG Age of Conan - Hyborian Adventures.

"The partnership with IDV and SpeedTree helps us ensure that Funcom can continue its tradition of creating visual excellence in games", said Trond Arne Aas, CEO of Funcom.

"The integration of the middleware was exceptionally easy, but the results were amazingly realistic", said Pal Hansen, Funcom Project Manager. "We are thrilled to be working with SpeedTree and when our players see the results in Age of Conan, they will be too."

In 'Age of Conan' the players will encounter a dark, lush, violent and sinful universe, presented in fantastic graphics and stunning 7.1 surround audio. In a world filled with cruel gods, mythical creatures, lost civilizations and a struggling human race, the mighty barbarian has finally seized the throne as king of Aquilonia. But Conan's rule is on the brink of chaos, spiraling towards the doom of ancient evils. In this twisted fantasy world, dark magic and brutal combat lurks around every corner, and each man and woman must carve their own unique destiny under Conan's reign.
