Finally, it is accomplished: After all the waiting and postponements, the new area “Tokyo” is surprisingly set to be implemented today, June 4, 2014 in The Secret World – which is both a salvation and a premiere, as TSW is receiving a new area for the first time, with new missions and characters, offering exciting new adventures waiting for you. Finally, the time of patience is over – because Tokyo was actually supposed to be released in the first quarter, but there were unfortunately continuous delays.
On your travels through the dangerous areas, you should look out for black knowledge objects that will provide you with valuable information about the history of the new region. You will probably need them… Looking at the following trailer, it looks chaotic – really chaotic.
Spooky, right? Of course, there will also be side stories of the categories Sabotage, Investigation, and Action, in which the personal stories of the characters will be advanced. New among them are, for example, Inbeda, an Oni mercenary in a leopard bathrobe at the bathhouse, and the charming Ricky Pagan, a rockabilly heartthrob who has remained in Tokyo despite the incidents to protect his favorite cherry tree.
Even though the birthday of the Funcom MMO will not be celebrated again until July 3, the release of Issue 9: The Black Signal is already a small birthday gift for all fans. But the Watcher of Gaia event will return for the big party – in a modified form. More information about this will follow in the next letter from the Game Director.
However, Creative Director Joel Bylos offers a small outlook for the near future:
- Issue #10 includes, in addition to the second part of the Tokyo battlefield, new story missions, a new side weapon, a new scenario, and an expanded AEGIS system (including new levels and quality improvements).
- In Issue #11, you can look forward to the Orochi Tower, new NPCs, upgrades for the side weapon for the AEGIS system, a dungeon area for regular groups and raids, as well as a new build.
So far the plan – we are curious about how the timeline for these new features will look. Will you check out Tokyo?
