At the struggling MMO studio Funcom, the new “Secret Project” is now being introduced, and it is not an MMO.
Anarchy Online 2? Some new, big MMO project? This is what fans were hoping for when it became clear that key staff from Funcom were leaving their positions, being pulled away to work on a “Secret Project”. Now it has been revealed what Joel Bylos and the others have been working on: It is “The Park”, a single-player horror adventure.
The short version: Amusement park turns into a nightmare. Here is the trailer. By the way, it comes with an epilepsy warning.
Trivia Information: The singer is Fryda Wolff, who also lent her voice to Caira in Evolve.
The game The Park is set to be released in October 2015. In recent months, a financial crisis has been brewing around Funcom.
As Joel Bylos, the former lead designer of The Secret World, states, “The Park” definitely takes place in the world of The Secret World. And yes, this is the game that has been secretly worked on in recent months.
People keep asking, including @rockpapershot – The Park is absolutely set in the universe of The Secret World.
