The full release of the game for North America was May 20, 2008 and for Europe May 23, 2008 for the PC version[12]. The Xbox 360 version is scheduled to be released in the fall of 08.[9]
Hyborian Adventures is the first installment in the planned Age of Conan series that may include expansion packs, which are hinted at on the official forums. The Age of Conan series is set in the Hyborian Age, a fantasy setting created by American author Robert E. Howard in 1932. Age of Conan itself takes place within the continent of the Hyborian kingdoms, a year after the events depicted in Howard's sole Conan novel, The Hour of the Dragon.[13] Hyborian Adventures' release celebrated the 76th anniversary of the Conan franchise.
Like many other MMO games, there is a monthly subscription fee. The suggested retail price of an Age of Conan subscription card is $29.99 (€19.28) for two months. Another available option is a recurring monthly subscription plan paid online by credit card, usually costing $14.99 (€9.63) a month. Discounts can be obtained when subscribing online by purchasing multiple months of play time simultaneously, however, the first month is free.
