Age of Conan expansion, updates, and film tie-in detailed at GC

Eurogamer has the word from Leipzig's Games Convention that Funcom is spooling out new information about their newly-released title Age of Conan. Among the most interesting tidbits: concept art for the first AoC expansion should be released later this week. Word is that it has a "strongly oriental look", perhaps hinting at an Eastern-themed context. They're also talking about a film tie-in, hinting at connections between the Lionsgate movie production and the MMO. Details on that promotion were as sparse as the expansion hints, other than Ellingson saying they have "a very close relationship with the guys making the movie."

The site also put forward information about upcoming updates to the gameworld. Hints at the "Black Castle", the Commons district of the capital city Tarantia, and the much-anticipated Ymir's Pass are all in the article. The Pass was mentioned by Erling Ellingson as one of his favorite upcoming content pieces in our recent interview with the project lead. Head on over to the site for all the gory details.
