![]() That’s the premise of no less than one of Secret World Legends’ dungeons. Tentacle monsters may be very much real in this universe. While cryptic, you can probably rely on their oral history anyway. They’re spoken from the perspective of the Buzzing, a magic collective assumed to be responsible for your magic powers. While the game tries to draw the players in with its urban fantasy roots, its fans are often more interested in the original lore of the game. In the MMORPG, you can find tidbits about the universe’s lore across the game. They also do note that you’re one in a few thousand Bees now, because there’s an uptick in Bee activity due to a massive pathogen outbreak in Tokyo (more on that later). And this magic bee gave you magic powers! You need to travel around the world and take down magic threats at the behest of your faction and on behalf of Gaia, the magical representation of the world’s health. The original MMORPG centers around the player, a “chosen one” dubbed a “Bee,” because you were literally stung by a magic bee. (The third is the Dragon, a fictional group with deep in-game history.) Promo art for an expansion of The Secret World. Two of the three factions are literally the Illuminati and the Templars, each with their own Secret World quirks. Mummified families, New England zombies (hello infamous racist Lovecraft and not-as-racist Steven King) and Russian vampires and werewolves are the least you’ll find in the universe. What’s the Secret World Universe, Anyway?įree-to-play Secret World Legends, formerly pay-one-play-forever The Secret World, is a horror and urban fantasy MMORPG released with an easy-to-remember mantra: “Everything is true.” In short, the game crossed over myths and legends from around the world. And thankfully, everything’s extremely straightforward! Here’s a quick low-down on the major connections you need to know. Still, outsiders might be curious about why Secret World veterans are so excited about this game’s tie-ins. Praising the horror MMORPG’s renowned campaign, fans begged for a spooky single-player game taking place in the universe for years. However, for veterans of the series, Moons of Madness is a nifty one-player treat. Moons of Madness is entirely playable without knowing a secret thing about Secret World Legends or any other related media. If you haven’t entered the Secret World’s extensive network of lore, don’t worry. Now, with the game out, Funcom have officially declared it part of the cult (or cult ist?) hit’s greater original mythos. It was implied from the first trailer that the Secret World universe, which has ties to games The Park and Hide and Shriek, as at play in Moons of Madness. However, there’s one more sect of players keeping an eye on it: fans of the MMORPG S ecret World Legends, known in a prior form as The Secret World. But! You live out some pretty typical Lovecraft storylines on a Mars space base. While it’s not actually on a moon… well, spoilers. After all, this game is not only “otherworldly” in the Lovecraftian sense, but it literally takes place on another planet. ![]() Fans of psychological horror anticipated the release of Moons of Madness.
