Tradition is a good thing: The Secret World's Templar trailer tries to recruit you

Horror, Sci-Fi, Trailers, Video, The Secret World

Meet Rose. She's a white-haired 21-year-old who eschews Facebook and club hopping in favor of fighting the forces of darkness. As one of The Secret World's Templars, Rose has fallen in with an organization that she thinks has the best chance of prevailing through the coming war.

Rose is also the star of Funcom's Templar trailer, which gives us a brief overview of the faction's philosophy and focus. Loyalty, tradition, brotherhood, and discipline are the cornerstones of what makes the Templars so effective in combating the evil that we fail to see all around us.

Still haven't made up your mind which TSW faction to join? Rose makes the case for why it's good to hang with the Templars: "We are the lions of the secret world. When we roar, everyone listens."

You can watch the full trailer after the jump, and don't forget that Funcom is hosting a Q&A on Facebook today at 10:00 a.m. EST!

Fantastic! I look forward to sharing time between TOR to play this as well. Not many of this kind of entry in the MMO field, or video game field in general.

@Lombardus

Hahaha great!

I hoped for more seriousness. More horror, riddles and exploration less gun'n run.

@(Unverified) You are going to be disappointed....playing it reminds of FEAR with a bit more multiplayer options.

Really let down all in all.

@Dunraven while are you are talking about games from the future, any hints on tonights loto numbers?

@fallwind

Why would you assume he's rubbing a crystal ball?

There are people playing the beta and not all beta players are as strict as they should be when it comes to NDAs.

Excitement rising.

Stick in Cthulhu and I'm there!

@dudes
They did, check out their gameplay demo for kingsmouth, at the end they attacked by a flying cuthulu guy.

Templar all the way.. even if it was founder by French knights.

The Templars are only 21 centuries old?

What happened to the Templars operating publicly since the time of Babylon? 21 centuries ago Babylon was gone.

Or is this like internet dating, where everyone shaves off a few years and uses someone else's photos? Maybe if I turn up to join the Templars in London I won't find that nice big impressive Temple Hall. Instead it'll be some daft old geezer running things out of the back of a beat up van.

hmmm...Knights Templar founded in the 11th century....and its now the early 21st century....I think someone needs a new calculator....there's is out by about....carry the one....1000 years or so.....

@Dread Those are not the same Templar groups. Knights Templar are as history knows them. TSW's Templars have a far longer, more secretive history that indeed dates back to pre-Christian times.

@Dread

In TSW the Knights Templar are a 'minor offshoot' of the Templars faction.
