The Secret World Update Content Update to Launch July 31st
By: Jasmine Henry | Jul 19th 2012
How are you enjoying The Secret World so far? EA and funcom's urban myth and conspiracy MMO has been out for a few weeks now so it's unlikely that you've somehow managed to completely max out every level and gone through every experience in the game this soon. Less convinced of this are publusher of the gam, EA and The Secret World developer funcom who are so concenred with players running out of conspiracy ousting gameplay to play through that less they've announced the first content update for The Secret World.
With a July 31st release, this new content update for The Secret World will be going live less than a month after the game's initial release. Likely, it is then, that this is a move on EA and funcom's part to encourage even more players to get in on the game, which, as a modern day conspiracy MMO, is the very first of its kind.
Judging by the details of the content and how interesting it sounds, they will have few problems enticing players to play The Secret World - read the full list of The Secret World content update features below.
NEW MISSIONS!
-Carter Unleashed: An action mission set at the Innsmouth Academy on Solomon Island, where the player gets to know more about the exceptionally gifted student Carter. Exploring the hallway below the academy, Carter will need help controlling her powers - before they get completely out of hand.
-Crime and Punishment: Bestselling horror author Sam Krieg came to Solomon Island to write his latest novel - but there's more to it than that. Through this investigation, the player will dig into Krieg's works and the mind of an obsessed fan to learn more about the dark and hidden history of Solomon Island.
-Hell & Bach: Daredevil reporter Daniel Bach is working on the story of all stories, his shot at finally winning a Pulitzer. For years, he's been chasing the ghost of Theodore Wicker, only to end up trapped at the Overlook Motel outside Kingsmouth Town. But Wicker's story doesn't end here - nor did it start here. Following the bread crumbs back in time, the player will investigate the mystery of Wicker, and learn more about what brought him to the gates of hell...and beyond.
-Funeral Crasher: Eleanor Franklin only has her cats and her ghosts to keep her company at her mansion in Blue Mountain - and now the ghosts are getting restless. When the dead themselves are spooked, the living must pay heed.
-The 3rd Age: There have been Ages before ours, and the evidence lies beneath. In Egypt, the sand is thin, and the remnants of past Ages are beginning to spread their influence across the world. The Seven Sentinels hold the key to an investigation that begins in the present, and delves deep into the distant past.
-Red Handed: It wasn't chance that brought Dr Varias to this distant part of the Carpathians at this particular point in time. Following in his father's footsteps, Varias is attempting to unravel the mystery of the Red Hand. Why did they build a vast facility beneath this desolate region? What were they doing here? And how was Varias' father involved? In this investigation, we answer some burning questions about this secret Soviet era genetic research project - and how it ties into the events of the present.
(The official release also hinted at a secret mission you will have explore Solomon Island to discover.)
NEW NIGHTMARE MODE DUNGEONS!
Two dungeons are receiving new Nightmare modes: The Ankh and Hell Fallen.
Increased challenges, increased rewards, and a chance to test new builds, new synergies and to put your team to the test against some of the toughest and fiercest challenges in The Secret World!
Who will be the first to conquer The Ankh and Hell Fallen in Nightmare mode? When 'Unleashed' is unleashed, we will find out!
THE MARKETPLACE!
Unleashed also contains the brand new, cross-dimensional Marketplace, allowing players to sell, trade and ship items to other players, no matter where they're playing. The Marketplace will be an integral part of The Secret World's growing economy, giving players more flexibility when it comes to how they equip their characters, and how they procure PAX.
Also according to the announcement, these listed details are just the start of what the first content update for The Secret World will include.
The content will go live in The Secret World on the 31st of July and will be free to all players.
