The Dark Fantasy MMORPG The Secret World aims to maintain its course and continue to focus on strong stories. And to get things moving.
The Lead Designer of The Secret World, Romain Amiel, was a guest at Massively Overpowered and presented the plans for the game there. Rumors were circulating about the next location of the storyline: Congo, Antarctica, or even the Moon. Which of the three would it be, he was asked?
None of the three would come next to The Secret World, said Amiel. First, a different location is planned before looking closer at Congo, Antarctica, or the Moon.
After Tokyo, the speed of The Secret World should pick up
For the future, the Game Director promised to deliver future game content more quickly. With “Kaidan”, the Tokyo storyline, one felt bound by earlier, complicated templates. A million-city like Tokyo requires a lot of effort to do it justice: it needs a lot of space, many details. That all took a long time. Now they believe they can deliver faster.
For the future, players should expect exciting new stories, fully voiced, with the immersive gameplay that The Secret World is so proud of and that fans expect. Some updates are also planned for the current year.
The Secret World lives on the story. That is one reason why they do not plan features like housing. Players would probably not forgive a long pause while working on a feature like “Apartments”. They have some other RP features in mind that require less work, which they could bring alongside new stories.
