The Secret World

The Secret World is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game developed by Funcom. The story takes place in a modern day real world filled with present-day elements as well as magic, myths, conspiracies and dark horrors. For there really is a realm within ours, a secret world, where dark magic exists, bizarre creatures dwell, and ancient evil forces lurk silently in every corner intent to corrupt and dominate the earth. Even this modern world hide secrets. The player gets to choose which of the three factions he would join and play as (Illuminati, Templar, or Dragon) and will assume the role of a supernatural hero who sets out on an action-filled adventure to participate in a “future war between good and evil”, fighting dark monsters that threaten the modern world. Thus the game’s objective follows a faction-driven quest storyline. It seems like the developers sat down with a mission to not only think outside the box and come up with something fresh but also to deliver an overall innovation of excellent gameplay mechanics that is truly ground breaking for the genre.
