Unlike their last effort, Age of Conan, Funcom is using an original setting for this online game: the real world. But don't worry: this isn't a game that has you washing +1 dishes before travelling to the supermarket to purchase increasingly nutritious vegetables. Like the classic shooter/RPG Deus Ex, The Secret World is grounded in your most intriguing urban legends, myths and secret societies. This gives Funcom the chance to create lore that's accessible to everyone, but lets them apply their own interpretations.
