In The Secret World, players will encounter all sorts of supernatural threats, including a fog that turns people like the residents of a formerly sleepy New England town called Kingsmouth into the land of the walking dead. It's just one stop on the way of fighting against the evil tide. Players can learn more about this location by visiting the official Kingsmouth website, specifically set up for prospective The Secret World players. Maybe there's some hidden information or clues as to what's going on. In the very least, it'll provide some recon so that players will know what they're stepping into.

"The Secret World takes place in our own, modern-day world. Players can explore locations such as New York, London, and Seoul, as they unravel the mysteries, legends and myths that make up our world and its history. But the real and realistic will clash with the unreal and fantastical, as the darkness of the secret world approaches. Players will have the freedom to become whatever they want to be and play however they want to play, allowing them to explore the world at will and master anything from voodoo and black magic to martial arts and modern firearms."

While we may still have to wait a while before a lot of concrete info on The Secret World is revealed, developer Funcom is trying to have some fun with its community for the upcoming MMO. A few days ago they secretly launched the web site for the fictional small town of Kingsmouth, Maine. The town seems like the normal coastal village but we are betting there's a lot more to this location than meets the eye.

Indeed we are betting the web site itself has lots of "stuff" waiting to be discovered. There definitely a dark "Lovecraft-like" underbelly to the site (some of the names are straight out of H.P. Lovecraft's stories). There's a story on their news page that seems to hint about an event on April 3. We are marking our calendars now.
