It seems Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures and the phrase “sold out” are going hand in hand a lot these days. First Funcom announces that they’re out of early access slots for those who pre-order the game, and now it looks like they’re out of the Collector’s Edition as well. The developer has even stated that they were actually sold out before, but then additional boxes were made and shipped out; and those too have now sold out. In all, 111,000 copies of the Collector’s Edition have been shipped to retailers. As you can imagine, Funcom is very pleased with themselves right now:
“Everyone in Funcom is delighted and humbled with the historical pre-order numbers for Age of Conan. If the information we have is correct, they represent the highest pre-order number for any global launch of an original PC game, ever, including the original World of Warcraft launch,” said Morten Larssen, Funcom’s VP of Sales & Marketing.
Unfortunately, this comes with a bit of bad news. The DirectX 10 version of the game will not be released for the initial launch. The development team needs more time to get all the features working smoothly. Still, the DirectX 9 version of the game will be available on store shelves tomorrow.
