Funcom va distribui The Secret World împreună cu Electronic Arts

Funcom ne informează despre încheierea unui acord cu Electronic Arts în vederea distribuirii MMO-ului The Secret World a cărui dezvoltare a fost sistată temporar în 2009.

“Ne bucurăm că am încheiat un parteneriat cu unul dintre cei mai mari publisheri existenţi. Acest fapt ne dă încredere că produsul realizat de echipa noastră poate face faţă cerinţelor actuale ale pieţei” a declarat Trond Arne Aas – CEO Funcom.

Funcom, the award-winning game developer responsible for titles such as ‘Anarchy Online’ and ‘Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures’, and EA Partners, a division of Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:ERTS), today announced their agreement to co-publish Funcom’s highly anticipated modern-day massively multiplayer online game ‘The Secret World’. Hundreds of thousands of gamers have joined the ever-growing community surrounding the game, and have – even before launch – become active members in the game’s secret societies: the Illuminati, the Dragon and the Templar.
“We are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Funcom, one of the world-leaders in the development of massively multiplayer online games,” says David DeMartini, Senior Vice President and General Manager of EA Partners. “We are very excited to be able to take part in the growing online gaming category with such a highly anticipated title as ‘The Secret World’.”

‘The Secret World’ is a next-generation massively multiplayer online game for the PC platform, where players are given total freedom to create and progress their characters, unbound by the restrictions of classes and levels. Players will get the opportunity to join one of the three secret societies and fight for power over important locations throughout our own world.  Players will also journey through familiar places across the globe, such as Egypt, New England, London, New York and Seoul and battle monsters of myth and legend.
