The Secret World video teases seventh 'issue', dubbed 'A Dream to Kill'

Funcom has offered a quick and decidedly creepy glimpse into what gamers can look forward to next week (July 8th) when the seventh major content update for 'The Secret World' finally hits the live servers.

'Issue 7: A Dream to Kill’ is the latest installment in a series of comprehensive updates that have greatly expanded the story, content and feature set in Funcom’s unique modern-day massively multiplayer game, and this time around players get to live out their secret agent fantasies as they explore a new and action-packed storyline in Transylvania with snowmobile chases, flamethrowers, werewolves and more.

“The last issue had a distinct Indiana Jones feel to it, and if I am to compare Issue #7 to something similar, I would probably draw parallels to James Bond and similar spy thrillers,” says Joel Bylos, Creative Director at Funcom. “From fighting on top of moving trains to battling skyscraper-sized monsters in the middle of Times Square;  The Secret World has become synonymous with the fresh, new and unexpected.  ‘A Dream to Kill’ is no exception, in fact I think players will be more surprised than ever!”

This week The Secret World also celebrates its first anniversary, and Mr. Bylos has put together a letter to the community where he talks about this important milestone, the Issue #7 update and also touches briefly on what is to come in the next update. The letter also contains a unique story comic that gives another glimpse into Issue #7 and what players can expect in terms of story.
