Remember the Games Convention event in Leipzig that we wrote about some two weeks ago? For those of you who couldn’t attend, here’s a video tour of some of the new content in the game, presented by Funcom’s Erling Ellingson. Enjoy!

At Games Convention in Leipzig a couple of days from now Funcom will present a lot of new stuff, both for press as well as consumers. New features, locations and content will be brought to the table together with tons of swag like trial accounts and limited edition game DVDs for some of the lucky visitors and Conan fans.

All of this will be presented by Funcom live on the stage and you can have a chat with the developers afterwards or in between. Plus you’ll also see a demonstration by Blue Orb Inc. on how to use a regular control pad for the game with their software.

And for press only, there will be an exclusive behind-closed-doors display of coming DirectX10 features.

Funcom’s Morten Larssen sums it up:

We are very pleased with the tremendously successful launch that we had, but this is where the real journey starts for Age of Conan. In the months ahead we will be putting a lot of effort into expanding and improving on the game, and we look forward to using the Games Convention to unveil some of the locations, content and features we have in the pipeline.

Interesting, to say the least. You’ll find them in Hall 5 at stand B10. If you’re in Germany, that is.
