Imagine if every myth, conspiracy theory and urban legend was true. Imagine a world where you can become anything you want to be, without restrictions such as classes or levels. This is the premise for The Secret World, Funcom?s upcoming massively multiplayer online game set in the modern-day real world.

No Classes or Levels

Experience a game that has no classes or levels. Truly freeform character customization allows you to create the alter-ego that you want to play. Choose from hundreds of different powers for your character without ever having to re-roll, completely eliminating the need to follow a set path of progression throughout the game. Choose the powers, the weapons and the clothing that you want to use

Play How You Want to Play

The Secret World does not force you down a set path of progression. You are free to do anything you want at any time. If you ever get tired of doing missions or slaughtering demons, why not return to your secret society and perform tasks for them so you can rise up in their order? Do so, and you will unlock even more powers, weapons, and even unique uniforms. And, of course, untold secrets!

Join one of three secret societies ? the Illuminati, the Dragon or the Templars ? and fight together or against other players for the power to dominate the world.

Imagine a world where entire governments are swayed by the hidden hand and word of secret societies. In The Secret World you get to join these secret societies. The Illuminati, the Dragon and the Templars ? each stand united in their war against the rising darkness, but divided in their pursuit for power. What secret society you choose to join will have profound, long-lasting effects on your gameplay experience.
You will progress through your secret society?s hiarchy and unlock new powers, uniforms, and weapons as you unravel their mysteries and their secrets. You will also fight for your side in the player vs. player conflict, which pits the secret societies against each other as they fight to control the power held within legendary locations such as Stonehenge, El Dorado, Shambala, and others.

Interesting... If they pull it off, good on 'em. I have my doubts they will though.

I share those doubts, This game has to potential to be truly amazing I just hope Tornquist and his team can get it where it needs to go.

An MMO on the 360... I guess I would try a demo.

The other link that shows game play wasn't that impressive, but who knows what it will be when complete.
Rangar Tornquist said a while back that the PC and 360 versions would be different from one another, What that could mean though I can only guess. Maybe the 360 version will be a single player action adventure game?

TSW has been in development for a good 6 years now, Perhaps they did take some inspiration from L4D but I doubt it.

Constant text transitions were really annoying.
Would really have been so hard to ACTUALLY show us ANY of the stuff they were describing? The guy who made this really sucks at building up tension.
Maybe these trailers will be better for you.

O.O
Holly F*ck on a F*ck Sandwich!
It's like they're advertising two COMPLETELY DIFFERENT games! (from the one in the OP I mean)
THIS game has my interest
Haha! I knew you'd like them, The trailer I posted in the OP was mainly made for the people who have been following the game for sometime.

Infact I'll add these two to the OP.

Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.

Pretty awesome trailer, I have a real interest in this game. It's just a shame that I have a shitty netbook to play PC games on and it would never be able to handle anything like that.

Just wait, the 360 version may surprise us all.

Holy shit there's a 360 version? I seen MMORPG and ruled out all possible chances of it being on console. Well, lets see if the PC gamers were right or wrong on whether MMOs on consoles would be horrific or amazing.

I just know that someone will complain that the game had been dumbed down for the console at some point. I know pretty much nothing about the game, but I know this will happen.
