The Secret World at GamesCom

GamesCom 2011 is just around the corner and Funcom is gearing up to head over. Together with our co-publisher EA Partners, Funcom will showcase The Secret World to the public on the showfloor, as well as conduct press demonstrations behind closed doors.

In Hall 6 we are building a closed theater (you need to be 16+ to enter) where we will be doing a 20 minute live demo of The Polaris, one of the game's many dungeons. Five developers will be playing the game while our Senior Community Manager Oliver Kunz and our German Community Manager Johannes Rebhan explain all the details about dungeon crawling in The Secret World. Well, some of them, at least. We'll be showing combat, progression, the skill wheel, boss fights and more in this exciting live demo of the game. 

Outside the auditorium there will be pods available where you can take the initiation test to determine what secret society you are most suited for.

Behind closed doors, press will be treated to a demonstration of The Secret World's secret society gameplay, including the first-ever reveal of the game's large-scale PvP where over a hundred players compete in massive, persistent battles. If you want to learn more, keep your eyes peeled for media coverage to hit during and after the show!

Both our Communications team and our Community team will do their best to keep you updated through the site, the forumFacebook, and Twitter for the duration of the show.

GamesCom runs from August 17th until August 21st and is held in Cologne, Germany. You can find out more by visiting the official website.
