The Secret World's third location reveal of the week is here, and we're once again back in New England for a look at the Accursed Woods. The new blurb on the game's official website kicks things off with a rather unsettling quote from H.P. Lovecraft, an author whose works have inspired both the story and the visuals of Funcom's forthcoming opus.
The Accursed Woods play host to some sort of gnarly, nameless terror, but Funcom's prose makes it clear that players will know the true nature of the evil that lurks beneath the forest floor soon enough. "Soon, very soon, these horrors beyond horrors will leave the woods, and quaint Kingsmouth will fall to their chittering chorus," the site says. Bring your bug spray and head to the official Secret World web destination for more.

I wish there'd be more images in these reveals. But I've enjoyed them nonetheless. Hopefully TSW will sate my inner explorer.

Stop revealing areas and reveal a date for launch, or at very least a beta!!

Yes yes very nice.
Now, let us play! We're chompin' at the bit for the game, not previews.

Honestly don't care about these reveal anymore if they don't have at least a short game play clip.

So a lot of the locations where you actually fight monsters seem to be in Kingsmouth and the surrounding vicinity. Are the three big cities just going to be social hubs? I'm starting to wonder if the cities are going to be where you team up and then you go off to other parts of the world to face monsters.
If that's true, that seems too Guild Wars like. I hope a great deal of the missions actually take place in the big cities. The game is in a modern setting. We should be engaging the enemy in the cities, not some isolated forest. Besides I've seen enough forests from all the fantasy MMOs. Funcom, please focus on the urban jungle please.
