Funcom product manager, Jorgen Tharaldsen has confirmed that its highly anticipated MMO ‘Age of Conan’ is coming to Xbox 360, but it probably won’t be this year.

Speaking to MTV Multiplayer, Tharaldsen said the 360 controller was posing a bit of a problem for the team. Funcom has focused all its energies on making the May release date for the PC version and as such ‘Age of Conan’ has been tailored to suit a PC gamer. The game’s real-time combat has been made for mouse and keyboard, making it a tricky port over to the 360 controller.

The good news is, a 360 version is coming, but it’s probably won’t be this year. We say, at least Funcom hasn’t skimped on the PC version just to rush it onto console, so it’s all good.
