Funcom is thrilled to announce an ambitious monthly update plan for its recently released modern-day massively multiplayer online game ‘The Secret World’. Every month Funcom will be releasing comprehensive game updates filled with exciting new content such as storylines, missions, seasonal events, game play enhancements and even entire world regions. These updates will serve players new and exciting experiences every month, ensuring there is always something new to discover in ‘The Secret World’.
“The team is excited to be working on expanding The Secret World,” says Senior Producer and Creative Director Ragnar Tørnquist. “We are committing to a very ambitious update schedule, but our goal is, and has always been, to provide our subscribers with new, high-quality content every month.”
‘The Secret World’ launched to great critical acclaim on July 3rd and is the highest rated current PC game on MetaCritic by user score. The number of players is growing quickly and to cope with the increasing traffic, Funcom today had to add a new dimension to the game. One dimension can hold tens of thousands of gamers playing at the same time, and due to the game’s unique single-server technology players can move seamlessly from one dimension to another to play with their friends anywhere, anytime no matter what dimension they call home.
The first update is slated to be released on July 31st, details of the update will be made available later this week. Mr. Tørnquist also revealed a high-level overview of what players can expect further down the line, such as monthly mission packs, new weapons, raids, an expanded character customization amongst many other exciting additions.
‘The Secret World’ has been recognized widely for its new take on the MMO formula with 1.5 million gamers all over the world registered to beta test. With its unique modern setting, The Secret World is surely a record breaker – the game completely does away with confinements such as classes and levels. Storytelling has also been taken to a new level as it introduces engaging missions unlike anything seen before in MMOs. It is no surprise as to why there is such a formidable public interest in the game.
