New Trailer Shows The Darker Side Of The Secret World
Games can be in development for years, sometimes being restarted again and again, but they eventually find their way into our hands; the Secret World is no different. Since it was officially announced back in 2007 we’ve heard some news about it but it’s always been very sporadic, often with months and months between the slivers of news, so it was always going to be a little exciting when we got to see a new trailer.
Especially one as visually appealing as this one.
The Secret World is the new upcoming MMO from Funcom, the creators of Anarchy Online and Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures, and is set in the modern world blending together classic MMO elements with social networking and alternate reality gaming.
The game will feature an original setting created by Funcom, with contemporary elements as well as magic, myths, conspiracies and dark horrors. The game is set in the modern day real world but also incorporates pieces of ancient mythologies, real and false history, urban legends, and pop culture, and ties them into an original back-story. The players will assume the roles of supernatural heroes who participate in a future war between good and evil, fighting dark monsters that threaten the modern world.

The Secret World is due to be released on the PC and possibly the Xbox 360, although no firm release date has been set.

By day I play video games, test video games or just simply write about them. By night I fight crime on the streets of London as a masked vigilante known only to a select few ... damn SECRET identity. Could never get the hang of that.
I've been writing about video games for about 10 years now, and playing them for even longer, starting off with a Spectrum ZX passed down to me in about 1988. Yes, I used to play games that came on cassettes. Yes, they were AWESOME!
I've been writing for God is a Geek since October 2010 and loving every minute of it, aside from that I write for my own website and work as a video game tester for Testology. So, yeah, I'm pretty much living the life of a gamer, and I don't intend stopping anytime soon thank you very much.
Unless I run out of money, then we might have a problem.
