What they are sure of is the game's combat. So we'll just have to wait for the announcement of the inevitable expansion pack. There's also the fantasy realm Agartha which will come later, although details are still sketchy on what it'll entail. The Dragon are the most mysterious, preferring to spread chaos from behind the scenes like a clandestine puppet master.įuncom are staying coy about The Secret World's narrative specifics, bar that its history tracks back 100 million years. The Templar are a modern take on the traditional crusaders, while the Illuminati are far more corporate with order and money driving their gains. The factions themselves are full of character.
