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."Age of Conan – Hyborian Adventures" is scheduled for a Windows release in Q4 2006. The game won the Gamespot award as "Best MMO" of E3 2005, as well as being runner-up as the "Most Innovative Game of Show".
