The Deal with The Secret World
The folks over at Zam.com have a great summary on what is currently known about Funcom‘s next big release, The Secret World. Below is an excerpt from the Zam article but you can read the full article here.
“Still in the heated stages of alpha development, The Secret World is capturing the attention of gamers around the world. Widely publicized and fueled by clever viral marketing campaigns, the upcoming Urban Fantasy/Horror MMO is finally starting to reveal some of its secrets, thanks to recent gaming conventions like Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) and Games Developers Conference (GDC). Six months ago, all we had were a handful of rumors and some outdated, leaked screenshots. Coupled with a few cryptic website domains and a mysterious alternate reality game (ARG), The Secret World’s developers had the gaming community right where they wanted it: tightly-wound and frothing at the mouth for anything that might explain what this new MMO is all about…”
“But what makes this upcoming MMO so noteworthy? If you’re just “tuning in,” so to speak, you’re probably wondering why this particular title has garnered so much attention. The ARG and early “leaked” media hinted at a game world that blurred the usual, defining boundaries of past and present MMOs. Instead of choosing between tried-and-true genres like fantasy, sci-fi or horror, The Secret World looks to be an amalgam of them all, and it takes place in our modern world.”
Below is the most recent teaser trailer for this in development mmo.
