In development since 2003, Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures is an online action role-playing game based on the Conan the Cimmerian stories written by Robert E. Howard in the early 1930s. Age of Conan is being developed for the PC and the Xbox 360 by Funcom, the creators of the science fiction MMORPG Anarchy Online and the critically-acclaimed adventure game The Longest Journey.

The player is able to direct the swings of their character's weapon during combat to attack six separate target zones. Other features include battle formations, which impart bonuses to the group using them, and mounted combat, which will also use the "Real Combat" engine.One of the primary attractions of Age of Conan is the "Real Combat" system, which promises greater player interaction during combat than previously seen in online role-playing games.
