Funcom has announced that it has licensed SpeedTreeRT, a high quality foliage generator, for "Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures".

"“The integration of the middleware was exceptionally easy, but the results were amazingly realistic," said Pål Hansen, Funcom Project Manager. "We are thrilled to be working with SpeedTree and when our players see the results in Age of Conan, they will be too.”

In ‘Age of Conan’ the players will encounter a dark, lush, violent and sinful universe, presented in fantastic graphics and stunning 7.1 surround audio. In a world filled with cruel gods, mythical creatures, lost civilizations and a struggling human race, the mighty barbarian has finally seized the throne as king of Aquilonia. But Conan’s rule is on the brink of chaos, spiraling towards the doom of ancient evils. In this twisted fantasy world, dark magic and brutal combat lurks around every corner, and each man and woman must carve their own unique destiny under Conan’s reign."
