With the upcoming launch of the Free2Play version “Legends” of the former MMORPG The Secret World, a revamped combat system is also coming into play.
Secret World Legends represents a reboot of the online game, which will switch to a Free2Play model starting June 26 and brings several changes. For example, the focus is intended to shift from a classic MMORPG to a cooperative multiplayer RPG. You will meet in hubs with other players, form a group, and then experience the game’s story in instances.
The combat will feel more action-oriented
The combat system will also be overhauled and is expected to feel significantly more action-oriented, almost like a third-person shooter.
You will be able to change the camera and the crosshair, and the weapons and magic will also feel different to support this action aspect. This means that the combat system is moving away from traditional tab-targeting towards an action RPG approach.
There are many changes
In addition, a “Heat System” will be introduced. The more fire or lightning magic you use, the more “Heat” increases. The higher this is raised, the more powerful the spells are, which is also reflected in their effects. D
These and many other changes and adjustments to the combat system are presented to you by the game’s developers in a video.
What do you think about the changes? And does the new business model make The Secret World interesting for you again?
