After racking up some serious pre-order figures, Funcom has now announced that Age of Conan is one of the fastest-selling PC games of all time.

More than 400,000 gamers have entered Hyboria since its release on 23 May (20 May in North America), making Age of Conan one of the busiest MMOs in the western hemisphere.

In addition to the many gamers logging in, there was also substantial traffic to the Age of Conan websites, with more than 2.2 million unique visitors during the last 10 days.

The game has so far received sound reviews from players and critics alike, something Funcom is obviously happy about.

"The initial sales and reviews are very encouraging, and it’s great to see that so many are enjoying Age of Conan", said Funcom CEO Trond Arne Aas.

"This is just the beginning, and we already look forward to massive updates and cool new features. We believe our focus on making Conan unique and groundbreaking is a key reason for the initial success. This is a focus we will keep and reinforce, and players can expect continued quality and innovation as we enter a new era for the game."
