Correction: Age of Conan uncensored in UK, US

360 News from N4G | Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures

360 - Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures - Correction: Age of Conan uncensored in UK, US

Age of Conan will feature full gore and "breasts with nipples" when it is released in the UK and US later this year. Funcom originally said the game would bear an M for Mature badge in North America, but later corrected itself after an uncensored version was submitted and came away with a Mature 17+ stamp.

The developer apologised for "maybe two small errors". However, the German version will differ from the rest of Europe and have to make do without decapitations, dismemberment and "over-the-top type fatalities".

Age of Conan carries an 18+ rating in the UK because it's mature and gory and about as subtle as Arnold Schwarzenegger. It's an MMORPG but focuses on an active combat system and player versus player battles, making it a hard to prospect to resist. And, according to Funcom, around 500,000 of you have already felt the attraction by joining the ever growing community. That number includes beta sign-ups, forum members and probably hairy barbarian groupies.

The PC version is due to arrive on 20th May, with an Xbox 360 version announced but languishing in the "to follow" category.

360 News from N4G | Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures

360 - Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures - Censored Age of Conan for US and Germany

Shannon 'Pharamond' Drake, Community Manager of Funcom, reports that Age of Conan just gotten its rating, and he can now give us the full and complete story on what we will and won't see in each 'version' of the game:

"Please note this isn't a design decision or something we can reverse. It's a legal (or as good as legal) requirement to sell the game in that particular territory.

With that said:

The US version is rated M for Mature by the ESRB. If you buy the US version, you will not see nipples.

The German version is rated 18+ by USK. The German version has full gore, but will not have decapitation, dismemberment, and over-the-top type fatalities.

The 'elsewhere in Europe' version is rated 18+ by PEGI and is unchanged."
