The Secret World Relaunching As Free-To-Play Game On Steam Soon

Funcom's The Secret World is returning in its new form very soon. The publisher announced this week that the game will relaunch on June 26 through Steam as Secret World Legends.

As announced earlier this year, it's a free-to-play game that Funcom describes as a "reboot" of the 2012 MMO The Secret World. The new version of the game is labeled a "shared-world action RPG."

More than just a name change, Funcom says it will feature "a redesigned combat system to make action feel more natural, more intuitive systems to interact with, enhanced visuals, and an improved flow of the quests, as well as the structure of the early game for new players."

In Secret World Legends, players fight against supernatural enemies in a story where "ancient myths and legends cross over into modern day." Players have weapons and superhuman abilities at their disposal. You can read more about the game on its Steam page and through its official site.
