Today Funcom revealed some of the first details of the expansion which is titled Rise of the Godslayer.

The expansion will add a new land to the game, the Empire of Khitai. The land, which is split up into five different zone, looks like it has an Asian design influence by the screenshots that accompany the announcement. The storyline deals with the consequences that were created by the action of a younger Conan Khitai. Players will also be able to replay the game as one of the Khitans themselves. There will also be new abilities, spells and combos added for players and naturally there will be a number of new monsters to slay, by Crom! The expasion does not yet have a release date.
