As promised by last week's The Secret World teaser trailer, developer Funcom has unveiled a trailer with a few gameplay snippets from its semi-real-world MMORPG directed by Dreamfall: The Longest Journey writer and game director Ragnar Tørnquist.

"The new video reveals locations, monsters, characters and gameplay, yet it is barely scratching the surface of what the game will deliver," says Funcom CEO Trond Arne Aas in a press statement. "The universe that we are creating in and around 'The Secret World' is massive, with real-world locations, urban legends, myths and conspiracies." Read more »

Several new screenshots, some new pieces of artwork and a brief teaser trailer mark the latest update from Funcom on its mystical but modern-day MMO The Secret World.

Packing "no classes or levels" and development for both PC and Xbox 360, The Secret World has yet to receive a solid release window. That said, beta sign-ups are still open, and a longer version of the below trailer is slated to debut Thursday, March 25. Read more »

Having produced several fancy computer-generated trailers and more recently issued the first in-game screenshots, Age of Conan maker Funcom has now issued the first in-game video from its still-undated mystical modern-day MMO The Secret World.

Age of Conan and The Longest Journey developer Funcom has announced that it intends to to reduce its workforce by 20% as part of a cost-cutting program.

The cuts will chiefly strike Funcom's Norwegian branch. Funcom employs over 300 people worldwide with studios in the USA, Canada, Norway, Switzerland and China. The US division was struck by a number of layoffs in November 2008. Read more »

After years of teases, Age of Conan and Anarchy Online developer Funcom has released the first screenshots from its third massively multiplayer title, The Secret World.

Conceived and directed by The Longest Journey creator Ragnar Tornquist, the modern-day MMO tells of a supernatural conflict involving three secret societies: the Illuminati, the Dragon and the Templars. Unlike many other entries in the genre, including Funcom's past MMOs, The Secret World is said to have "no classes or levels." Read more »

Last time, it was a fiery supernatural break-in. Now, the second teaser for The Secret World is out, showing that even playgrounds aren't safe in the modern-day MMO.

Developed by Funcom (Age of Conan), The Secret World is billed as having "no classes or levels, thus giving the player complete freedom of choice when creating and developing his or her alter-ego." Still no word as to when the PC and Xbox 360 title will launch, but beta signups are now open through a secret society placement test.

Funcom has released the first teaser trailer for The Secret World, fleshing out the world and setting of the upcoming action MMO with a short cautionary tale about the need for supernatural security and flaming swords in the modern world.

No word yet as to when the PC and Xbox 360 MMO will arrive, but as this video is "to be continued," expect the Age of Conan and Anarchy Online dev to reveal more shortly.

Nearly two years after the game was first announced, Age of Conan and The Longest Journey developer Funcom is ready to be "a little less secret" about The Secret World.

The studio has revealed that it will begin "to lift the veil" by showing the MMO behind closed doors at this year's Game Developers Conference, which runs from March 23-27. Director Ragnar Tornquist--creator of the The Longest Journey series-- will be on hand to discuss the title and provide new details. Read more »

Creator of the acclaimed The Longest Journey adventure series Ragnar Tornquist wrote on his blog that the episodic sequel Dreamfall Chapters may be low on developer Funcom's list of priorities, but is still in the works.

"Dreamfall Chapters—and, by proxy, The Longest Journey—isn't Funcom's highest priority at this point," wrote Tornquist. "With Age of Conan live, The Secret World staffing up in every department, and other games in various stages of development, the project is currently on the back burner—but it hasn't been abandoned."
