[edit] DirectX 10
As a footnote inside the proud announcement that Age of Conan Collector’s Edition Completely Sold Out, Funcom "regrets to inform gamers that the DirectX 10 version of the game will not ship with the initial launch." Funcom intend to include more DX10 functionality in the extended development time of that client and plans to premiere it at the German Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany, August 20 – 24, 2008.
Some screenshots and videos available for a more visual aspect to what the game looks like.
