Massively multiplayer online game Age of Conan has been green lighted for the Xbox 360 console.

I can't freaking wait, though the PC version isn't even due till this spring.

"This is a groundbreaking leap forward for Funcom. The fact that we now get the chance to develop 'Age of Conan' for the Xbox 360 means access to a potentially whole new and large MMO market," said Trond Arne Aas, CEO of Funcom. "The fast-paced and innovative combat system in 'Age of Conan' will suit the demanding console audience perfect. We believe the amazing online capabilities of Xbox 360 will be a great match for MMOs like 'Age of Conan', and as one of a handful officially approved MMO games for the console we aim to create a unique, brutal and powerful online gaming experience."

Funcom says they will be releasing details about the console version sometime down the line. Brian Crecente
