An ancient, dreaming evil stirs. Dangerous creatures awaken. The Earth is in mortal peril. The wonders and horrors of the secret world are re-emerging in our world. The time has come to take up arms in the war between good & evil. Warriors and champions of Gaia, your training is about to begin. Rise. You have been chosen.

As players traverse the globe unraveling complex investigations into the unknown, they’ll need to uncover clues and use their own wits as much as their characters’ abilities. A highly extensive and customizable arsenal of firearms, weapons, gear and otherworldly powers will give players the strength to battle the forces of darkness as they dig deeper into these vast and mysterious lands. Players can go at it alone and enjoy the over 100 hours of story at their own pace, or team up with others as they explore the world and unravel its mysteries.

The next chapter of Secret World Legends’ epic storyline is here!

Funcom is now adding a free story update that continues the already epic storyline of the game and expands into a whole new location: South Africa. Dawn of the Morninglight is a completely free update that launches on April 4th 2018.

Up until now, players have had the chance to visit New England, Egypt, and Transylvania in Secret World Legends, battling monsters drawn straight out of the myths, urban legends, and nightmares of our own, real world. With Dawn of the Morninglight the story is expanded into South Africa. Here players must infiltrate the compound belonging to the Morninglight, a cult that prides itself as being “the fastest growing spiritual movement in history”. As they rise up within their ranks, players will experience a brand new, fully voice-acted storyline where they must 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.”
