Fantasy reigns supreme, but fans of sci-fi are going to see more MMO titles geared towards their interests in the coming years. One genre that's still underrepresented, though, is horror. <a href="http://www.darkdaysarecoming.com/"><em>The Secret World</em></a> is a horror MMO in development at <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/funcom">Funcom</a> that we've heard precious little of. That is, until now. <br /><br />Reporting for <a href="http://www.shacknews.com">ShackNews</a>, Chris Faylor writes that Funcom's <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/ragnar-tornquist">Ragnar T&oslash;rnquist</a>, game director for <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/the-secret-world"><em>The Secret World</em></a>, will present at the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/gdc">Game Developers Conference</a> later this month. We're hoping his presentation will explain more of the game's premise. Presently, it's <a href="http://www.darkdemonscrygaia.com/">rumored to have secret society and Cthulu-esque elements to it</a>, but we're excited that we'll finally be able to hear more about <em>The Secret World</em> when we cover GDC later this month.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/03/10/funcom-to-reveal-the-secret-world-at-gdc-09/">Funcom to reveal The Secret World at GDC '09</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Tue, 10 Mar 2009 13:00:00 EST.
