Age of Conan has released its Free to Play version
Funcom has launched an all-new, free-to-play version of Age of Conan named Age of Conan: Unchained.The new version replaces the existing version of the game, and players everywhere will now be able to freely explore the sexy, savage, and brutal world of Hyboria with their friends and enemies.
Players now get to choose whether they want to experience the free offering, or become a Premium member with access to even more game content. An in-game store also allows both free players and Premium members to purchase in-game goods such as weaponry and mounts. For more detail about the differences between the free and Premium offering, visit the new Age of Conan: Unchained website.
Since the game launched three years ago, Age of Conan has undergone several changes and a huge amount of new content has been added. Funcom is already in the process of developing new locations, monsters, equipment and storylines for Age of Conan: Unchained.
After 1.4 million copies sold, having experienced fantastic critical acclaim, and still to this day going strong with a large active player base embarking on thousands of daily adventures, there is no doubt that Age of Conan has made a significant impact on the online gaming genre, says Senior Vice President of Sales & Marketing Morten Larssen. The great potential provided by the hybrid business model, and with the ever growing interest for free-to-play games, bringing Age of Conan into this market is undoubtedly the logical next step for the title.
