Looks like upcoming MMO Age of Conan is finding at least a few gamers that are looking for something different.
In a released statement, Funcom and Eidos are stating that beta sign-ups for the game have now surpassed the one million mark, a figure the companies claim is a first.
"Funcom has not been able to find any higher beta numbers for MMOs in the western world," said Morten Larssen, VP of Funcom Sales and Marketing. "We believe it represents the largest ever beta sign-up figure in the history of the genre."
The game is set to launch on May 20th in North America, and May 23rd in Europe.
Despite all this talk of casual games taking over the market, it's certainly turning into a banner year for mature-themed titles, first with Grand Theft Auto IV and now with Age of Conan.
