For the first time since Funcom’s modern-day MMO went from a subscription based title – The Secret World Legends will be receiving a free story update that continues the game’s story into a new location.
The expansion is called Dawn of the Morninglight and will be a completely free update launching on April 4th 2018, which will bring players to South Africa, players will find themselves up against a new cult called the Morninglight which prides itself on being “the fastest growing spiritual movement in history”. Players will infiltrate the compound belonging to the Morninglight, battle creatures inspired by ancient South African folklore and uncover the sinister truths of the Morninglight cult.
“This is it, this is the next chapter every Secret World player have been waiting for,” says Josh Mills, Producer for Secret World Legends. “Ever since we left off in Tokyo before going free-to-play, players have been wanting to know what happens next. The whole team is really excited to finally be able to provide some answers to that and taking the story into a location such as South Africa has been an absolute blast. This is Secret World Legends unlike you’ve ever seen it before.”
The Secret World Legends was released on June 26th and well exceeded Funcom’s expectations, breathing a new life to MMO series.
