Age of Conan: Rise of the Godslayer expansion to launch on May 11

Earlier this month publisher CompuExpert announced they would be the North American publisher for the new Age of Conan retail release which will contain Funcom's original MMO with its new expansion pack Rise of the Godslayer. Today CompuExpert announced that the game will be released in both retail stores and via download on May 11.

As we have reported before the Rise of the Godslayer expansion pack will give Age of Conan players a new land to explore, the Asian-themed land of Khitai, along with a number of new additions and features. The new retail version will also contain some exclusive in-game items designed to help new players.

New retail version of Age of Conan to include upcoming expansion pack

In 2008, Funcom used Eidos as its distributor for the retail version of Age of Conan. Now with the upcoming release of their expansion pack, Rise of the Godslayer, Funcom will release a new retail version of their fantasy MMO that combines both the original game and the expansion pack.

The new retail release will be distributed this time by CompuExpert in North America and will include some exclusive in-game items that will assist new players in their adventures. CompuExpert had previously distributed the WWII flight sim Wings of Prey to stores in the US. While Rise of the Godslayer is expected to be released sometime this year there's no specific date that has been announced.

WWI air sim Rise of Flight released in US


It's a rare thing nowadays to get a new PC flight simulator title. US publisher CompuExpert has solved that problem with the announcement this week of the US launch of Rise of Flight, a WWI air combat sim title from Russian developers neoqb (yep, that's their name).

The dev team created 125,000 square kilometers in the game from old 20th century maps of the areas depicted. Missions included in the game are "fighter sweeps, bomber escort, bomber interception, balloon attack and ground attack." There's also a editor included for players to create their own mission. Online multiplayer is also a part of Rise of Flight and additional content for the game is promised in the coming months.
