Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures Interview

Gamesindustry.biz has conducted an interview with Funcom CEO Trond Arne Aas about how development of Age of Conan is coming along, the company’s plans for 2009, and more.

Q: Is work still progressing on the 360 version of Age of Conan and the first expansion pack – or is the team totally focused on live updates for now?

Trond Arne Aas: Yes, we are still working on the Xbox 360 version of the game but we are not ready to commit to any dates at this point. Even though Age of Conan is an MMO that is especially suited to the console platform, there is a lot of work to be done in terms of tailoring it for the Xbox 360 console.

As for the expansion, from January the team will expand significantly. The live game is always our number one priority, but as the game improves we are naturally able to put more effort into the expansion. The expansion is also important, as it gives our current players something to look forward to, and it will be a tremendous product in terms of expanded content and new features.
