Officially the launch of Funcom's long awaited MMO Age of Conan is set for tomorrow, May 20. The game's Early Access program has had its share of issues but it looks like a feature that has been previously hyped up before the game's release won't be available for Age of Conan's launch after all.

The news came this morning in the form of a press release that, in journalism terms, attempted to "bury the lead" with news that the Age of Conan collector's edition had sold out and that Funcom had shipped out 700,000 total copies of the game in stores. However the really important, and disappointing, news was mentioned at the end: The game will not launch with a DirectX10 graphics version as previously announced. It will only have support for DirectX9. The press release states that the DirectX10 version will debut around the time of the German Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany in late August.
