La sofware house Funcom, creatrice del game MMORPG per Windows The Secret World, ha annunciato, mediante la pubblicazione del comunicato stampa che vi presentiamo di seguito in lingua originale, una lieve rivisitazione della data di rilascio del titolo, ora fissata per il prossimo 3 luglio sia in Nord Amercia che in Europa.

In base alla comunicazione di Funcom, che è anche publisher del titolo in collaborazione con Electronic Arts, la nuova pianificazione per il lancio di The Secret World non è legata a problematiche di carattere tecnico, connesse ad esempio con lo sviluppo del gioco o con la configurazione della piattaforma di server che ne supporterà il gaming on line, ma esclusivamente a ragioni di marketing.

Funcom ha anche annunciato il terzo weekend dedicato al beta testing del titolo, coincidente con la finestra temporale che va dal 15 al 17 giugno, sottolineando che l'accesso alla beta è aperto a coloro che hanno prenotato il game, di cui seguono un trailer e gli screenshot più recenti.

Funcom announced that the company has made a small adjustment to the release date for The Secret World. Due to market reasons, the ship date has been moved by two weeks to July 3rd, with Early Access starting June 29th. The new launch date places The Secret World in a more positive launch window which will benefit the launch of the game.

We are also excited to share with you the dates and content of the remaining Beta Weekends!

The third Beta Weekend, titled 'Hell Raised', will begin on June 15th and run until June 17th. In this Beta Weekend players will be able to experience the Illuminati and Dragon starter experiences as well as the Templar experience. Players will also get to leave Kingsmouth and venture into the massive region known as Savage Coast, where they will soon find that the very gates of hell itself have opened up! This will allow players to experience the epic 'Hell Raised' dungeon where you will have to battle the demons of hell itself!

MMORPG.com and Massively.com played through the 'Hell Raised' dungeon recently, and judging from their previews they had a hell of a good time. You can check out their impressions here.

The fourth and final Beta Weekend will begin on June 22nd and run until June 24th. This event will focus on the player vs. player experience in The Secret World, and players will get to sample both the Eldorado battlefield experience as well as the massive warzone gameplay where over a hundred players clash together in persistent battle. Here the Illuminati, the Templars and the Dragon will get to duke it out and hone their battle skills on each other before the real conflict begins when Early Access opens on June 29th.

The best way to secure your place in these Beta Weekends is to pre-order The Secret World. This grants guaranteed access to both Beta Weekends.

See you in The Secret World soon!
