I know what you’re thinking, because I thought the same thing too when this press release came my way, Age of Conan? So Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures became Age of Conan: Unchained and has now found itself apart of the Aeria Ignite platform.
However at least they are hitting all the right notes as Age of Conan: Unchained “does not shy away from bare skin and brutal, bloody combat”, my kind of game, pull no punches and keep true to the source material. They really seem committed to this as well as to celebrate the move to the Aeria Ignite Platform all players receive the “Pleasure Priestess of Derketo” companion, interesting indeed.
So if you feel that all your other fantasy MMORPG’s are a little too watered down for your taste and you want some of the hard stuff head on over and check out the free to play Age Of Conan: Unchained. If you want to see what the game looks like without installing anything, click past the jump to see a few promo screenshots. Just don’t be looking for any bare skin or brutal battles these are more of the day to day shots.
