Age of Conan Delayed - AgainThe release date of Funcom's Barbarian-themed MMORPG Age of Conan has been pushed back from late March to May 20th. This is already the second delay for the gory hack'n'slash MMO, originally slated for a late 2007 launch. The reason? Needs more polish. Funcom sets new release date for Age of ConanThe highly anticipated MMO gets eight more weeks of polish Durham, USA - January 21, 2008 - Funcom announces a new release date for Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures. The highly anticipated MMO receives 8 more weeks of development, allowing Funcom to deliver a more polished MMO experience when the game launches on the 20th of May 2008. Despite great feedback on vital aspects like immersion, fun factor and the exciting combat system, the management of Funcom has decided to polish the game even more. Eight weeks of development work is therefore added to stress game systems and polish the game further leading up to launch. (Source) Based on the rumors about the state of the current ongoing beta, the claimed need for more time to polish the code and gameplay is very plausible. Let's hope Funcom can get it all sorted out in time for this launch schedule. The new date also places Age of Conan back into the same window with the other delayed MMO, EA Mythic's Warhammer Online. Any bets on which game will manage to hit the shelves first?  Age of Conan - notably liberal with the blood and gore, but apparently needs more polish.
