 “It is truly exciting for us to show gamers just how much freedom they will be able to enjoy in ‘The Secret World’,” says Director and Producer Ragnar Tørnquist. “The video perfectly encompasses the four important pillars of ‘The Secret World’: the modern-day setting, the freeform character progression, the dramatic storyline, and the unique secret society conflict. It feels great to reveal new details on the ‘The Secret World’ as we continue to make strides in the development of the game.”

Funcom today also launched a brand new website at www.thesecretworld.com, which offers both newcomers and veteran community members new and exciting material. Funcom will continue to update the site with news, information and media as the development of the game progress.
