The Secret World is a massively multiplayer online game set in the real, modern-day world, where players get to create the character they want to play free of restrictions such as classes and levels.

Dark days are coming. All the myths, legends and conspiracies of the world are true. Stonehenge is a source of magic, werewolves stalk the forests of Transylvania and... there is a monster under your bed. Three secret societies--the Illuminati, the Templars and the Dragon--are recruiting thousands of civilians with extraordinary powers embedded in their DNA from all over the world to aid them in the war against darkness... and each other.

In this very first Beta Weekend you will begin in London as an initiate of the Templars. After visiting the secret society's headquarters, you must make your way to Kingsmouth, a small town situated on an island off the coast of New England, to investigate the mysterious events that have turned this quiet little community on its head. Along the way, you'll team up with other players and battle monsters of myth and legend as you develop your character however you like using the Secret World's no classes, no levels progression system. Jump into this exclusive beta weekend beginning Friday, May 11 at 9am PST until Sunday, May 13 at 11:59pm PST!
