The Secret World the first open beta weekend will kick off on May 11th

This coming Friday, May 11th, Funcom will be kicking off the first of several Beta Weekends where gamers get to sample parts of the content and gameplay that will be featured in ‘The Secret World’ when it launches on June 19th this year.

Everyone who pre-ordered the game will get to play each of these Beta Weekends, with more content being added from one weekend to the next leading up to launch.

In the first Beta Weekend, named ‘Kingsmouth Calling’, players will get to join the Templar secret society starting out in London, before they get to visit parts of Solomon Island to investigate the mysterious events that have occurred there. Players will get to play around with the groundbreaking progression system that is free of restrictions such as classes and levels, and will have the chance to experience the unique storyline that The Secret World offers.

More details on the event can be found on the official website.
