Funcom has announced that the MMORPG Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures will become free-to-play later this year. This means that players can play the game for free or become a premium subscriber with access to additional content.
In addition, the studio will re-launch the game this summer under the new name ‘Age of Conan: Unrated’. Conan was already known for its brutality and nudity and these features will be given even more attention in this new release.
The game is quite popular and has received good reviews. It can be expected that making it free-to-play will significantly increase the number of players.
The online game will also include content from the upcoming Conan the Barbarian movie.
