In further Age of Conan news today, Funcom has told us that its MMO Age of Conan is set for release on March 25.
Previously the game had the loose March-May 2008 as its latest release date.
Originally Funcom had hoped to get Age of Conan out at the end of last year, but the developer pushed it back to this year following the decision to make alterations to the game's combat system.
It's primarily the game's real-time dynamic combat system that caused a stir in the MMO community when Age of Conan was first announced.
We found it too fiddly during a first hands-on, but the system's subsequent definite and deliberate revisions have improved the feel of the game immensely.
An open beta for the MMO is planned closer to launch.
You can read more about the game and the impact of changes Funcom has made in this recent hands-on preview.
