The Secret World just got a little less… secret! Funcom announced today that its highly anticipated MMO will launch on June 19th, 2012. This might come as a blow for some, as we were previously expecting this game in April, however, it’s important to note that Funcom delayed the launch to invest in more development time and polish before it was released.

Creative Director and Senior Producer Ragnar Tørnquist said, “The additional time will also allow us to carry out even more quality beta testing, and soon we will also be announcing several public beta events where hundreds of thousands of gamers will get to test the game prior to launch.” So while we may have to wait a little longer for the actual release of the game, it seems there will be a lot more opportunities for players to get access to the beta.

If you are itching to get your hands on more playtime in TERA, you don’t have much longer to wait! TERA’s next closed beta test begins Friday, February 24 at 12:00 PM PST and ends Sunday, February 26 at 11:59 PM PST. Players can look forward to an increased level cap of 27 and an additional character slot per server. This will allow players to try out new classes and races while keeping their main character intact. 

As for new content, characters will be able to enter the Sinestral Manor dungeon as well as explore new areas. Players on the PvP server, Valley of Titans, will gain a skill called “Outlaw Declaration.” Activating this ability will allow you, for up to 60 seconds, to attack any character above level 10 that is not in your guild or party. This status effect will persist until combat ends, so this doesn’t mean you have to secure the kill in this timeframe. 

If you want to be apart of the closed beta test, but aren’t invited yet, simply pre-order TERA now for immediate access to all the remaining tests.
