The Secret World Overview and Recent Content

The Secret World is a highly anticipated upcoming MMORPG created by Funcom (Anarchy Online) and Ragnar Tørnquist (The Longest Journey, Dreamfall). It is set to be one of the most unique MMORPGs ever launched, in that it will blend elements of mythological and modern day civilizations, along with a mix of dark fantasy and the supernatural, and have no character classes. In The Secret World, where urban legends, myths, and conspiracy theories are all true, the only question is: what do you do now?

FEATURES

  • Three Secret Societies | Illuminati, the Dragon, and the Templar.
  • Total Freedom of Play | Unparalleled freedom of character progression: no classes, no levels! Play however you want to play.
  • Explore a Vibrant Setting | Adventure through cities and ghostly locations spanning across continents.
  • Vast Array of Powers and Weapons | Hundreds of choices to choose from for outfitting your character, including simple clothing, firearms, and magic.

SECRET SOCIETIES

  • Dragon | The most secretive of the societies, believing that the natural chaos of life, collapse and rebuilding, is the only path to harmony.
  • The Illuminati | Constantly pushing for a New World Order, Illuminati agents work hard, play hard, and fight dirty.
  • Templars | Soldiers known as the lions of the secret world, standing at the forefront of the war against darkness.
