It is a fantasy-themed massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed by the Norwegian computer video game developer company Funcom for PCs. The game launched, (after repeated delaying throughout the early parts of the day) at around 2 p.m. (PST) or 11 a.m. (GMT) on May 17, 2008 in a limited way, being available to those who had pre-ordered the game for age of conan power leveling and registered for early access. The full release of the game for North America was May 20, 2008 and for Europe May 23, 2008 for the PC version. Although originally announced as being available for the AoC power leveling, the console version is at least a year behind schedule.
Hyborian Adventures is the first installment in the planned Age of Conan series. Age of Conan power leveling itself takes place within the continent of the Hyborian kingdoms, a year after the events depicted in Robert E. Howard's Conan novel, The Hour of the Dragon. Hyborian Adventures' release celebrated the 76th anniversary of the Conan franchise.
To play Hyborian Adventures, users are charged a monthly subscription fee.
