Secret World Legends Articles
Secret World Legends is opening today for anyone in good standing with The Secret World. Invites will be sent out today and players can join the beta immediately. Keep your eyes on your mailboxes.
The Secret Worlds Legends Twitter has been updated with this post, "As a thank-you for your support in TSW, you are invited to a head start of Secret World Legends beginning on June 23rd". After reaching out to Funcom, we now know that "this is for previous The Secret World players and those who signed up for the beta (application is still open)".
I’ve got a confession to make: I wish I played The Secret World more. But every time I take a stab at it since its launch, eventually the monotony of the combat and the overly complex nature of creating viable builds pushes me away. Luckily, it seems Funcom thinks I’m not the only one, and the soon-to-launch F2P Online RPG re-release known as Secret World Legends aims to pull me back in for good.
Secret World Legends will be launching later this month on June 26th. Of the many systems updated and overhauled in preparation for the conversion to the "shared world RPG", combat is one of the most significant. To show off what it looks like now, Funcom has released a new trailer.
Secret World Legends is the revamped, free-to-play version of The Secret World. While the beta is still under NDA, Funcom awesomely decided to let TheHiveLeader share some footage and give his impressions. Is it still as awesome as he remembers? Let's find out!
Funcom has posted an extensive article on the Secret World Legends site to answer the question, "What is free to play?" The team wanted to lay out in detail exactly what is meant by the term, particularly in light of more than a few questions from the community.
Funcom has released a new trailer for Secret World Legends that reveals the launch day as June 26th. The game will be launched as a completely free-to-play title. Secret World Legends is a "shared-world roleplaying game" that is a revamp of Funcom's original MMO, The Secret World.
Earlier today, Secret Worlds Legends Reddit blew up with NDA-violating leaks about the ongoing closed beta test. The information revealed screenshots, how combat has changed and information about lore portions of the story. However, Funcom feels that the information is not a fair or accurate portrayal of SWL due to the nature of closed beta testing. A leak "leads to misunderstandings and misconceptions that are doing nothing but a disservice to the game, the team working on it & future players."
With today's huge announcement of Secret World Legends, a rebranding and reimagined game, fans are clamoring for more information. We had the chance to send along a few questions to Game Director Roman Amiel that will provide a few of them. It's a great and informative interview so get crackin'!
Funcom is finally ready to reveal the details about the recently-announced overhaul of The Secret World. When the game relaunches later this spring, it will do so with a new name: Secret World Legends. Funcom considers SWL a "shared world RPG" that sports over a hundred hours of stories and quests. Lastly, Secret World Legends will be adopting a free to play monetization strategy.
The Secret World has entered "Golden Week" where players can hunt down Samsu Nasiru, the Guardian of Gaia to get hold of cool rewards and tokens that can be exhanged for items including pets, Lucky Coins and more. In addition, golden outfits, the golden unicorn and the Gilded Geist Rider are all available in the shop for the entire event that runs from now through March 8th.
In today's investor's meeting, Funcom revealed that it will be "relaunching" The Secret World in 2017. The move is being made to "broaden the appeal of the game" and will be accomplished through redesigning the new player experience and by making combat improvements as well as tweaking other game play features. In addition, the veteran program, including its rewards and retention systems, will be overhauled. Relaunch is expected to begin in March.
