Durham, USA – September 3rd, 2009

– Funcom today revealed new details on
its upcoming modern-day, real world massively multiplayer online game
’The
Secret World’. As a teaser for more reveals to come out of
the Penny Arcade
Expo in Seattle this week, Funcom unveiled three secret societies - the
Illuminati, the Dragon and the Templars - all of which will be central
to
gameplay and the storyline in ‘The Secret World’.

Gamers everywhere can also visit the official website at href="http://www.darkdaysarecoming.com">www.darkdaysarecoming.com
and
complete a unique personality test that will reveal to them what secret
society
they are most suited to join. Completion of the test will not only
allow them
to become an initiate of that secret society and thus an important
member of
the official ‘The Secret World’ community, it also
gives them the chance to win
exclusive future beta access to the game. Initiates will also be kept
up-to-date
on the development of ‘The Secret World’.

"The secret societies are integral to ‘The Secret
World‘," says
Producer and Director Ragnar Tørnquist. "Players must
eventually pick a
side in the conflict. By revealing the three societies - and at the
same time
keeping some exciting new features under wraps - we provide players
with the
opportunity to dig deeper into the conspiracies and urban legends, and
to learn
more about these famous secret societies, before making their final
decision
when the game launches."

For this pre-show reveal Funcom has teamed up with href="http://www.gamespot.com">Gamespot
(US), CVG
(UK), Buffed
(DE), JeuxVideo
(FR), Meristation
(ES), Multiplayer
(IT), Boomtown
(DK) and FZ
(SE) - all of which today features exclusive information on the secret
societies. By visiting those sites you can also check out all-new
artworks as
well as a new cinematic trailer for ‘The Secret
World’ – the follow up trailer
to the hugely successful cinematic released in April this year which
has been
viewed by more than one million gamers around the world. More in-depth
information on the secret societies and gameplay associated with them,
as well
as the first ever in-game screenshots of the game, will be revealed
exclusively
to press during media-only presentations at the Penny Arcade Expo. The
game’s href="http://www.darkdaysarecoming.com/">official
website will also see
several updates over the next days that reflects the new content and
information coming out of the show.

Funcom is also present on the showfloor during the show. Here gamers
can learn
more about ‘The Secret World’, take the initiation
test, and even win exclusive
‘The Secret World’ merchandise. ‘Rise of
the Godslayer’, the first expansion
pack for the 2008 best-selling new MMO ‘Age of Conan:
Hyborian Adventures’ will
also be featured on the showfloor and gamers can even try out a
playable demo.

‘The Secret World’ is Funcom’s third MMO
and features a unique modern-day
setting. Players will be able to discover real world locations such as
New
York, London and Seoul as they battle the forces of evil together with
thousands of players from around the world. ‘The Secret
World’ uses no classes
or levels, thus giving the player complete freedom of choice when
creating and
developing his or her alter-ego.
