Funcom Listens: The Secret World Receives Reticle Combat, Back End Engine Updates


The Secret World marks three months since launch, and while shakeups at Funcom have resulted in the team being moved around, the team is dedicated to keeping everything business as usual. In a continued effort to improve on the game, Funcom has been releasing near monthly “issues” updates, offering new quests and features. With the launch of Issue #4 on the horizon, new game director Joel Bylos has posted a letter from the director, detailing where he will be taking the game.

Starting with Issue #4, The Secret World will be treated to a much-requested feature, reticule combat. The update doesn’t radically change combat, and it is completely optional for players who might prefer the current system, but it is a welcome update regardless. Additionally, the Dreamworld Engine will be receiving some upgrades in the coming future to allow for more fluid animations. The upgrades will be used to improve player and NPC animations in The Secret World and Funcom’s future MMOs. The team is also looking into fixing up skills that have become filler.
