The Secret World Relaunching In Mid-2017
The Secret World will relaunch in the first half of 2017. Major improvements are incoming, including an overhaul of the combat system, an element that has long been criticized, though I personally never minded.
Redesigned new player experience
- Major improvements to gameplay including combat.
- Introduction of new retention systems such as daily rewards.
- Adjustments to the business model, including allowing access to the story content for free.
The relaunch is set to begin in late March.
But that's not all we've gleamed from this Funcom financial report.
Conan Exiles has obviously been a tremendous success, and Funcom is still committed to release the game one year after its Early Access launch. And based on its rapid success Funcom has elected to commit more resources to the project, investing an additional 5 to 10 million dollars USD. Along with an Xbox One preview, Conan Exiles should be getting an additional biome Q3 2017.
More interesting is Funcom's commitment to release two games every year, while also ing existing Age of Conan held crossover events to celebrate the launch of Conan Exiles.
Wait what's this? Funcom also has two early concept stage projects set to enter pre-production in the second half of 2017. One of which will be using the Conan the Barbarian IP. Who wants to place bets on a card game? The other project is on hiatus until after The Secret World relaunch.
