The Secret World Beta Reaches Over 500K Registrants

Funcom has reported that over 500 thousand players have registered to take their part in The Secret World beta. Everyone who signs up for the beta will need to align themselves with one of the game’s three factions – the Templars, the Dragon, or the Illuminati. Through these factions they will fuel the conflict that’s tearing The Secret World apart.

“We are thrilled to see the amount of interest ‘The Secret World’ is generating among gamers and the press, and exceeding half a million beta registrations six months before release is definitely something we are proud of,” says Funcom CEO Trond Arne Aas. “The gamer interest in ‘The Secret World’ and the community size for the game is even greater than we experienced with ‘Age of Conan’ at the same stage of development. We expect the community size to keep on expanding at an ever faster pace in the coming months as we approach Open Beta and launch.”

There’s still no release date for the game, nor a date when the beta will take place. We’re still waiting on word from Funcom, but with the amount of people registered for the beta we like to think it will be coming soon.
