TSW Game Director on New Content and Issue #8 Release

Joel Bylos recently dropped his latest missive for The Secret World (TSW) as part of his monthly rounds for Funcom’s lineup of MMOGs today. Bylos confirmed that Issue #8: The Venetian Agenda is expected to hit live servers sometime next week, adding the new story along with the new Augment system and three Scenarios: The Mansion, The Hotel, and The Castle.

In addition to the new content coming with Issue #8 next week, Bylos also discussed the following Issue #9 update, which will open up the new region of Tokyo. Bylos calls Issue #9 the largest content update to date, adding that it will also include the new Aegis system to expand the horizontal progression. Bylos concluded the update with a new comic strip that tells the tale of a mysterious meeting about Tokyo.
