The Secret World - Issue 1 - Unleashed announced

What makes The Secret World a unique MMO? Why would anyone subscribe to it? These are the questions everyone has been asking since the release of Funcom's modern day MMO. In our previous article, discussing the Investigation Missions in The Secret World, we thought, besides the amazing ambience, the investigation type missions were what made The Secret World special. It was a formula that had worked for adventure games back in 90's. The Secret World, with its main story revolving around the secret societies and conspiracy theories, already offered some kind of mystery but the investigation missions has kept people playing the game so far.

Today, Funcom announced the first details of upcoming content updates, as they name it The Issues. Each issue will be adding new content and more importantly, new missions to the MMORPG. According to Funcom's press release, the developer will be releasing a new Issue every month. 

Issue is titled "Unleashed" will add six new investigation missions, two nightmare mode dungeons and a marketplace feature.

For those of you running out on investigation missions in game, we have the details of each of the six missions due for release July 31, 2012.
