Age Of Conan Beta Starts May 1

Home : News : Age of Conan : News Story

Open beta kicks off in less than two weeks.

Funcom and Eidos today announced that the long-awaited Open Beta for their upcoming massively-multiplayer online roleplaying-game, Age of Conan, will begin on May 1 at 3pm GMT/ 9am EST.

"When we started development of Age of Conan four and a half years ago we truly wanted to move away from the standards of the MMO genre. We wanted to bring something new, exciting and fresh to the gamers," said Gaute Godager, Game Director.

"As we get ready to show everyone what Conan's savage world is all about, we need final stress testing. Teaming up with the Beta Masters at IGN was a perfect opportunity for us! We simply couldn't ask for a better partner for this crucial stage of our Beta."

The beta will feature a level 13 cap and will only be available to FilePlanet members who receive a beta key. You can find additional details at AgeOfConan.com.
