The Secret World launch details

It's time to get conspiratorial.
Mike Holmes 3 July 2012

The easiest way to identify a conspiracy theorist is by their taste in jumpers.

Funcom and EA Partners today released The Secret World for PC.

The MMO, set in a world where all the outlandish conspiracy theories you've heard about are actually all true, is retailing for £39.99, and comes with a one month of play included. After the free subscription is over, it's £11.49 per month to continue playing.

EA Partners' Sinjin Bain said: "We are proud and very excited to launch The Secret World with Funcom. This is truly a unique offering in the MMO genre, and we're confident players are going to love exploring familiar locations in a real, contemporary world as they uncover the game's many secrets and wonderful story."

"Community reception for The Secret World has exceeded our expectations and exceeded all Funcom's previous records with over 1.5 million beta sign ups," said Trond Arne Aas, former CEO of Funcom (he resigned earlier today). "This launch represents years of hard work here at Funcom and we are thrilled to share this unique immersive experience with players around the world."

Creative director at Funcom, Ragnar Tørnquist, added: "The Secret World puts its own twist on real world stories, myths and legends and we cannot wait for players to dive in deeper and unravel the mysteries that are showcased throughout the game first-hand."
