Anarchy Online developer Funcom today announced that it is working on Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures, an online action RPG scheduled to be released in 2006. The game will feature a singleplayer component as well as a massively multiplayer one. The website is up featuring a FAQ, a list of features and a set of screenshots.

In Conan the players will encounter a dark, lush, violent and sinful universe, presented in fantastic graphics and stunning 7.1 surround audio. In a world filled with cruel gods, mythical creatures, lost civilizations and a struggling human race, the mighty barbarian has finally seized the throne as king of Aquilonia. But Conan's rule is on the brink of chaos, spiraling towards the doom of ancient evils. In this twisted fantasy world, dark magic and brutal combat lurks around every corner, and each man and woman must carve their own unique destiny under Conan's reign. In the true vision of Robert E. Howard's dark universe it's now time for you to become a messenger of death.
