This week we have introduced the Ymir's Pass gameplay content update to the live Age of Conan servers. Here there are hours upon hours of more adventure to be had, adventure that has been tailored for characters in the mid-to-late fifties. The vast new area is packed full of new locations, quests, monsters and - of course - glorious loot!

Ymir's Pass is an entirely new Cimmerian outdoor region. Not only will you explore a vast new area of land, you will also have the opportunity to explore a dramatic storyline by completing a series of new and exciting quests. As you gain levels and unravel the mysteries of Ymir's Pass, you will also get access to a new dungeon - The Amphitheater.

Ymir's Pass and all content associated with it will be automatically downloaded to your computer when you launch Age of Conan. Good luck, adventurer!

Perhaps you do not yet have a character of high enough level to explore Ymir's Pass for yourself? Fear not, we have put together a video giving you an exciting look at some of the locations you will journey through and the monsters you will get to slaughter!

The area of land known as Ymir's Pass is vast in size. There are many unique locations to be found, and several different factions inhabit the area. While we do not want to spoil all the fun of exploration for you, we have put together a short guide that should teach you the basics of what-is-what and who-is-who of Ymir's Pass.

Joel Bylos probably knows more about Ymir's Pass than anyone else. Working on the new area as a writer and a quest designer he knows everything about where to go and what to do. Recently he had time to put down his reflections on Ymir's Pass, and he also took time to answer some questions before he ran off to work on a future update!
