Sources have told us the Kingsmouth website is in truth connected to the enigmatic developer known as Funcom. They've also informed us that this is just the beginning of a new The Secret World initiative from the mysterious developer. In fact, those very same dark forces- er, sources, told us that you can expect to see a significant reveal happen this very weekend.
We asked Funcom's Erling Elingson for a comment on these shadowy happenings, "The recent release of the Kingsmouth website is just one of many unique initiatives that will be happening around The Secret World in the next few weeks. Not only are we teaming up with a major site this weekend to give gamers a unique glimpse into the game through new and never-before-seen footage, but there are also other secrets lurking under the surface waiting to be discovered. The ever-growing community surrounding The Secret World did a great job deciphering the clues that led to the discovery of the Kingsmouth website, and they will have plenty more to play around with in the next few weeks!"
Success! Our dark lord's ancient powers worked wonders. Wait, we mean uh, our highly charismatic and soothingly baritone voice made them talk, yes. So, you'll want to keep a lookout this weekend TSW fans, and don't stop investigating for clues. If you did, the all-knowing master would be very upset...

I am waiting to see what Funcom believes is a major site.

Kingsmouth.com is major enough. And with more to come it gets better and better.

It's painful to wait for The Secret World! Going to be a sleeper hit.

Wonder if this has anything to do with Sera's recent tweet regarding her excitement about a secret Massively partnership project to be revealed this weekend...

I can't wait for this game. I'm really looking forward to both The Secret World and World of Darkness. The genre needs some different settings than fantasy...

I am really looking forward to this one! Hopefully AOC has given Funcom the experience to really pull this one off!

I like the puzzle/secrecy thing around TSW and I hope they will keep it throughout the game and I hope Funcom has learned from thier mistakes with AoC.
Anyway,it really smells something good is cooking in the oven :)

I'm excited about The Secret World. This is an exciting way to introduce the world and to create "buzz" for it. However, I take this as a grain of salt. Funcom has been the only company I've ever returned a game for a full refund ... twice. They release unfinished material. This is looking like a step in the right direction. Here's hoping they don't fudge up something that could have tons of potential.
