The Dark Fantasy and Conspiracy MMO The Secret World provides an outlook on the next update and proves once again that it is a completely different kind of MMO. While other games transport us to fantasy worlds, the Buy2Play MMO “The Secret World” introduces a twisted and contorted version of our world, where nothing is as it seems.
The Secret World is different. This can be seen time and again. For the world in which The Secret World takes place, as fantastic as it may be, is deeply rooted in our reality: A kind of funhouse mirror of what we can see when we turn on the news or step outside. And if you read the producer’s letter, which gives an outlook on issue #10 and introduces the key players of the update, you will read about a Jungian, hour hotels, and worn-out private detectives.
In issue #10, you will delve deeper into Kaidan, investigate the “Orochi” Corporation, and likely see only superficially attractive things in the erotic temple “Palace of Dreams”.
When the update will be released is still unknown. “Soon,” it says. The update is also expected to include an expansion of the AEGIS system. At the moment, The Secret World is inviting everyone: Halloween events are still running until November 13th. And if there’s an MMO you should visit this Halloween, it’s probably TSW.
You can read the producer’s letter to the fans here.
If you have never heard of The Secret World and want to get an impression of the game, we recommend our TSW impression “The best single-player MMO you’ve never played” to you.
