For those not in the know, The Secret World touts a very interesting form of gameplay, breaking all MMORPG style guidelines.
The story:
“Imagine if your worst nightmare came to life. Imagine a world where vampires hunt for mortal blood in dingy London nightclubs, where werewolves lurk in the sewers beneath Seoul, and where the undead prey on the living in the shadows of New York City. This is the premise for The Secret World, Funcom’s upcoming massively multiplayer online game set in the modern day real world. Enter an online world where every conspiracy theory, myth and urban legend is true. Enter The Secret World.”
Features:
