The Secret World third Beta weekend begins this Friday, with The Savage Coast opening up along with two new dungeons

Funcom have announced that in the third Beta Weekend for 'The Secret World’, which starts on June 15th at 9am PDT and ending on June 17th at 11.59pm PDT, gamers will be able to explore a wealth of new content that was not available in the two previous Beta Weekends, including the Dragon and Illuminati starter experiences.

Whereas players in previous Beta Weekends got to sample only the Templar starter experience and the troubled town of Kingsmouth, this weekend the game will be opened up to include the massive region known as The Savage Coast, as well as two epic dungeons: The Polaris and Hell Rising. This represents only a fraction of the content available at launch, but still spans over dozens upon dozens of hours of pure gameplay.

Funcom has also announced today that The Secret World has now gone Gold, and that production of the physical units have started and will soon be rolled out to retail in preparation of launch on July 3rd. For those who have pre-ordered, early access will commence on June 29th as planned.
