Free-To-Play Shared-World RPG Secret World Legends Launches June 26th

Funcom announced today that its free-to-play, shared-world RPG revamp of The Secret World, Secret World Legends, will be launching on Steam on June 26th. On that day, players will be able to either experience or re-experience its modern-day setting with supernatural threats either alone or with friends. A new action combat system that utilizes a "forced reticle," a new system of progression, improved visuals, and more await those who dare to enter its world of conspiracies, magic, and the supernatural.

As a reminder, all of Secret World Legends' story content will be free. The Secret World's Ability Wheel has been replaced with Weapon Pages; players will choose a "deck" of two Weapon Pages when they begin the game and will be required to pay for more unless they previously owned The Secret World. In a similar manner to that of games like Phantasy Star Online 2 or Vindictus, players will be able to meet up in the hub, which is known as "Agartha" in Secret World Legends, but areas outside the hub will be exclusive to their groups.
