Funcom announced that
The Secret War, browser-based online social experience inspired by the conflict between the secret societies in Funcom's upcoming MMORPG
The Secret World, has launched.
The Secret War will run as a campaign where players get to
actively spread the influence of their secret society in a highly
interactive experience that tracks each secret society’s level of power
in the world.

Players start by taking a unique personality to determine what secret
society they belong to. After joining a secret society, players are
immediately placed in the middle of the secret war and can start
recruiting agents to their cause through their Facebook friends list.
Players will have to deploy agents to different countries to increase
the influence of their secret society in those regions.

As you assist your secret society in their bid for world domination,
you will climb their ranks and unlock a wealth of exclusive rewards that
can be used in
‘The Secret World’ MMO at launch, such as
clothes, weapons, elixirs and more. Players can also unlock guaranteed
access to the upcoming Beta Weekends, and can win a trip to Montreal to
meet the developers of
The Secret World. One of the more exclusive prizes is the opportunity to have your name embedded into the game at launch.
The Secret World's Launch Date Is No Longer A Secret
"One of the most interesting features of
The Secret World is
the three profoundly different secret societies that players can join,"
says Funcom SVP of Sales & Marketing Morten Larssen. "Since we
first announced the game we have gradually revealed more details about
them, and what we have seen is that hundreds of thousands of gamers in
our community have come to identify with them and form a loyal bond to
other community members belonging to the same society. With
‘The Secret War’ experience we are excited about the prospect of allowing for even more community interaction and engagement."
The Secret World Freeform Progression Will Redefine the Way You Play MMOs
The Secret World is consistently mentioned as one of the
most anticipated online games in development, and over 750,000 gamers
are now registered for the ongoing beta testing. Feedback from media who
have experienced the game themselves has been very positive, and the
latest demonstrations at GDC 2012 in San Francisco resulted in another
round of glowing previews (see the full list
here).
‘The Secret World’ breaks
new grounds and genre conventions by introducing a modern-day setting, a
story-focused MMO experience, and a freeform progression system using
no classes and no levels.
