Halloween comes to The Secret World

The team at Funcom has announced the very first seasonal event for the modern-day massively multiplayer online game 'The Secret World'. The event went live on the game servers today and includes an all new storyline, new characters and even a special secret society competition that players can take part in.

The Halloween event is part of Issue #3: The Cat God, the third content update in The Secret World's ambitious post-launch update plan. Besides Issue #3, the team has already released two major content updates since launch in July, adding new weapons, missions, areas and all new gameplay mechanics to the game. With Issue #3 out the door, the team is already hard at work wrapping up Issue #4: Big Trouble in the Big Apple which will include the first raid set in a monster-ridden New York City.

In the unique Halloween event which went live today, players must pursue a challenging storyline that will take them back to the wondrous Stonehenge where they must face off against the Cat God himself.  Halloween would be nothing without costumes, and in The Secret World players will be able to dress up as a pretty princess, a pillaging pirate and much more with all new costumes available in-game.

Last but not least, the team has also put together a special, server-wide Halloween competition. All who take part in this special Halloween event will be rewarded and can earn unique costumes, pets and more.
