For fans of the upcoming MMO game ‘The Secret World’ by Funcom, it looks like the launch date for the game has been slightly delayed from its initial launch date of June 19 to one that is just two weeks after it; on July 3. According to Funcom, the purpose of the delay in launching is to “place The Secret World in a more positive launch window”. While the developer did not clarify exactly what it meant by it, we can assume that it is intended to be beneficial to the game’s chance of success at the time of launching. In addition to that, Funcom detailed the remaining beta weekends that players who just can’t wait for the release can participate in.
The next one which will be the third one overall begins on June 15th through June 17th. This beta weekend will allow players to try out the Illuminati and Dragon starting experiences and venture into a new region known as the Savage Coast. The final beta weekend will be focused on the PvP experience and will take place for June 22 through June 24. Apparently, Funcom claims that it has high hopes for ‘The Secret World’ since it received higher player numbers during its first beta weekend than it did with its previous gaming title, Age of Conan. What do you think about the delay in launch?
