Wow that didn't take long for Funcom at all. Just yesterday I brought you a debut trailer for this new MMO stating that there wasn't much else stated about this game outside of the teaser trailer. That and a website that just pretty much showed off said video, and a couple of grayed out images, and a weird countdown in a weird font. But that changes just a bit today.
Just released are those images in a color and clearer shot as well as a small overview/fact sheet for the game. No release date, not even tentative, yet but they have placed a few things about what to expect in this game. No levels, no classes and total "freedom." At least as much freedom that you can get in a virtual world. Also about as much clothing customization that is about on par with how the game tailor it's self to your play style. Or so they claim. Most of the stuff release is still in the generalization stage of things.
Here is the text that they have on their fact sheet for you as well as the images spoken of above. I'd like to have high hopes for this game, and it sounds good, but so far it seems just like generals and highly rendered video clips. But it's a bit more for the masses.
- Enter The Real World: Discover the hidden places of the present-day world, Enter the thriving urban environments of New York, London, and Seoul, and enjoy the social bustle of modern life. Then leave the cities behind and plunge into epic adventures that will take you through grand locations across the globe, from Egypt to New England, from the ancient past to an apocalyptic future.
- Be Who You Want To Be: There are no classes or levels. Experience the freedom of complete character customization at every stage: flexible character creation, unrestricted and almost limitless combinations of clothing and accessories, and skills directly shaped by your actions during play. Experience a reactive, fast-paced combat system that allows you to defeat enemies using anything from martial arts to black magic, from legendary armaments to modern firearms.
- Play How You Want To Play: The Secret World begins where other MMOs end. Start out as a modern-day hero and fight terrifying monsters - and feel powerful and in control from the moment you begin. Select from open-world missions that are tailored to your play style, whether you want to simply kill monsters, sabotage their lairs, embark on high-stake bounty hunts or investigate the hidden mysteries and dark conspiracies behind the secret societies that rule the world.
- Enter The Secret World: The divide between reality and the supernatural is weakening. What begins as an evening at the local nightclub can become a night of terror now that ancient creatures stalk the street. Face unspeakable horrors and explore unknown worlds beyond our own, or fight for control of the hollow earth as you unravel the truth behind the legends and myths of our world.
