Walking into the invite only EA hall (yes, they had a hall to themselves) for my “Behind Closed Doors” access to check out what was new I tried not to get swept up by the VIP experience of chill-out areas and free caramel frappuccinos whilst Fifa 13 played on big screens around the room. Heading off to the preview rooms I lined up for our exclusive presentation of Funcoms The Secret World.

Setting up our camera and taking a seat the Funcom reps went straight into the presentation which launched straight into the new zone “Ground Zero” based in Tokyo (expected to be released next year). From here they took us through the new “Passive Slot” where players can earn and train in various new auxilliary weapons such as rocket launchers and flamethrowers with a demonstration of the rocket launcher and its available moves in action.

The biggest reveal was an exclusive look at their first raid that will be being added into the game in October, which will have three settings: Normal, Elite and Nightmare mode. With a look at the beginning of the raid in action the action takes place in Time Square, New York City, and as mentioned in the presentation is heavily influenced by the film Cloverfield (and it’s easy to see why).
