Funcom has regretfully announced a delay to The Secret World: Issue #2, the second of promised monthly content updates for the fledgling MMORPG. Previously scheduled for August 28, the update, titled Digging Deeper, has been pushed back to September 11. Before you throw an earth-shaking tanty do recall that Funcom laid off a number of staff this week; the developer attributes the delay to “readjusting the team and our internal development processes”. Digging Deeper’s going to introduce a rocket launcher so, you know, it’s probably worth a little extra wait.

The Secret World

To celebrate one month of being, well, launched, The Secret World will be having a free weekend next weekend. Anybody will be able to play the game for free the whole weekend, including people who created and used beta testing accounts but did not end up buying the full game. Special in-game events, rewards and firework-related explosions will also be on offer.

The Secret World

There is a new post up at The Secret World blog, from Mr. Tornquist himself, outlining all the new features and upcoming changes that will be coming with future updates. And there are a lot of them. You’re better off checking out the post yourself for the details, but here’s a taste of what’s coming: There will be monthly mission packs, featuring fully voiced cut-scenes that will be entirely free. There are raids in The Secret World‘s future, with information about the first coming in August. There will be PvP dungeons and a handy dungeon finder, for all your dungeon-finding needs. Entirely new adventure zones are being announced in August, as well. Pets are being updated and upgraded, and combat will be getting the ol’ spit shine. That’s the bare bones of it, guys, so hit up the forum post and see for yourself what else is in store. Also, over at a different announcement there has also been another ‘dimension’ added called Leviathan, which will be marked as a roleplaying dimension very shortly.

Review: The Secret World

The Secret World

Funcom’s story-driven MMO promises not only a dark tale of mystery and the occult, but a mechanical revolution as well – with no levels, no classes and no grind, The Secret World has set its sights high. But can it deliver? Patrick Vuleta has logged over a hundred hours in game, and came back with this report.

The launch trailer for The Secret World is out today, alongside the game itself. This reporter is not going to lie – it’s a little pretentious. But that’s okay! It’s what we’ve come to expect from our trailers. In any case, there is lots of slo-mo fighting, sweeping vistas, Dinah Washington crooning in the background and what is distinctly Cthulhu near the end there. Check it out below.
