Hi Peccavi,

From all estimates and recent annoucements we are still looking at around a year away before Xbox 360 release. It's semi on the backburner until they have put in xtra content into AoC. Thats not to say no one is working on it they are, and at Funcom's home page over the past few months there has been plenty of job listings for programmers for it advertised. I reckon it will come anywhere from July to December next year. When it does it will have the extra expansion that will release for AoC in about a years time too. So they say.

Many of the official FunCom / Age of Conan pages that had specific reference to the XboX 360 version have had it edited out.  GameStop no longer shows AoC for XboX360.

Bit more info for you:

Conan 360 "still very much set to happen" News


3 September, 2008


Funcom has told Eurogamer that an Xbox 360 version of Age of Conan will definitely be released.

"The Xbox 360 version is still very much set to happen and we are working on it," said Erling Ellingsen, chief horn-blower for Funcom.

"However, there are no dates set, even though we aim for a 2009 release. Our big priority now is, of course, the PC version and fixing the issues with it and improving it for our current players."

Work began on the console MMO in December 2006, but was put to one side during the run up to the PC launch in May this year.

The plan was to follow with an Xbox 360 version of Age of Conan roughly 12 months later.

However, observers speculated that the amount of work needed to keep the PC community playing, plus the perils of the Xbox Live platform (certification for patches - eek!) meant Funcom may not bother with a console version after all.

Contrary to this, Age of Conan was shown being controlled by an Xbox 360 pad during Games Convention last month. This is the work of Blue Orb and clever PC application SwitchBlade, though.

Neither the 360 version or the expansion pack will be released.  The only question is which one will be (publicly) cancelled first.

Hmm, interesting. I'd read that MS is no longer interested in carrying AoC on Xbox Live.
