The Secret World

Funcom has is going to start the fourth and final Beta Weekend, of The Secret World, titled 'The Battle Begins'. Guaranteed access to the final Beta Weekend will also be given to everyone registering via the game's official website by June 22nd.

'The Secret World Beta Weekend #4: The Battle Begins' starts at on June 22nd and runs until June 24th. During that time players will be able to experience all the content that has been included in the three previous Beta Weekends, such as all three secret society starter experiences, the town of Kingsmouth, the Savage Coast and the Polaris and Hell Raised dungeons. Brand new this weekend is the inclusion of PvP gameplay, where the secret societies must duke it out in legendary locations such as Stonehenge and Eldorado.

Participants will also get to experience the persistent PvP war zone of Fusang Projects, where over two hundred players clash together in a massive struggle for server-wide power. The outcome of these battles affects all players belonging to the victorious secret society, across the server.

"The game is definitely living up to our expectations, and it appears this is a sentiment we share with our testers as well," says Funcom SVP of Sales & Marketing Morten Larssen. "The playtime per participant during the last Beta Weekend was very impressive, shattering all records from previous Beta Weekends or even beta events from our previous games. This is a strong indication of the engagement and depth of the gameplay experience. Beta surveys have shown that four out of five players will recommend the game to their friends, something we find remarkably positive and a true testament to the quality of the game and the amazing work the team has done."
