Wow usually when a game gets it's release date changed multiple times it's usually to delay it, but this game which was originally scheduled for release in 2008 is now coming this month. :)

"In the gaming world, titles often get delayed again and again, with disappointed fans counting the days until they can get their hands on their hotly anticipated favourites. So it's nice to see a game moving forward in the release schedule for once.

Conan, the Nihilistic-developed action adventure featuring the brawny barbarian will now be released on September 28 in the US and the UK. It is not to be confused with the massively multiplayer online role-playing game Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures developed by Funcom, which is due out for the PC and Xbox 360 next year.

Originally expected to debut in 2008, then brought forward to October 26, it would appear that unlike the MMORPG version, Conan is well ahead of schedule.

The game has a recommended UK retail price of £44.99 for the Xbox 360 version, and £49.99 for the PlayStation 3, with a BBFC rating of 18. In the US, both versions of the game will retail for $59.99 and be rated M for Mature. For more information, check out GameSpot's recent hands-on preview of Conan. "

wow great news for us, not so good for the developers.
They are releasing it three days after Halo 3? It shouldn't affect the PS3 sales to much, but the 360 sales will suffer. It is going to get completely forgotten with all the attention being on Halo 3. In my opinion I would have released it on the 26th of October.



I dunno whether to be glad or worried, this game went from being revealed to coming out way too quickly. Like that other game, Beouwolf which is already coming out and it was revealed like 2 months ago!

Anyway, so far it looks to be a good action game, hopefully it delivers.



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

You should be worried like us sony fans were, that game wasnt talked about in e3 and look what happened it got an average of 5.8.

Lets hope they didn't rush the game just to get it out before christmas. And it may actually be a good thing for it to release near halo3. Cause when people go to the store to get halo3 they will see this game and may consider buying it but who knows?

Bet with OriGin: Within 1 year Super Smash Bros. Brawl will be ahead of Mario Kart Wii (when aligning the one whole year from each region). 2 week ban from Vgchartz for the loser. Edit: Darn! Looks like OriGin will win.

I don't see the point of rushing a game for Christmas this year. There is just way too much competition.

So many huge franchises are getting sequels this year and they won't next year so better to have a game for next year's holidays.
