The Secret World delayed

This is not a bad joke. Funcom has changed the release date of its highly anticipated modern day MMORPG "The Secret World". The game was previously planned to be released in April. Continue reading for the new release date and the reason behind the delay.

Funcom's upcoming MMORPG "The Secret World" had a decent beta testing by players and press (generally) however, according to Blues, the company has pushed the game's release date to June 19th, 2012. 

Funcom's excuse for delaying the game's release is to polish the game and tweak it to its maximum potential. 

Feedback from hands-on press events and beta testing has proven very positive, and Funcom intends to spend the additional development time focusing on polish and tweaking to maximize the potential of the game. The beta feedback so far is showing very positive reactions to core game features such as the role-playing systems, combat, missions, dungeons, story and immersion. Among the beta testers surveyed, almost 9 out of 10 say they will play the game at launch.

More than 750,000 gamers are now registered as beta testers, which is significantly higher than Funcom’s previous MMO ‘Age of Conan’ had at the same point in development. Funcom expects the number of beta registrations to grow significantly in the coming months, as the company ramps up its major PR and marketing initiatives towards launch.

The negative is that we are going to have to wait about four months to play The Secret World, the positive is it doesn't look the game has serious problems. It's not like the game is delayed indefinitely. At least we still have a release date. Until then, you can watch the Illuminati teaser here->
