Funcom has revealed the first in-game footage for The Secret World in a video on GameSpot, and it gives us a glimpse at the location of Kingsmouth. The small town in Maine was unveiled last week through the launch of a seemingly innocent site that vaguely hints at the town's dark secrets.

Funcom silently launched a Web site last week that showcases Kingsmouth, a sleepy seaside New England town that will be featured in The Secret World. Fans discovered the site over the weekend and Funcom officially revealed it today on  Twitter and Facebook.

The game will be based in the near future, in a world where myths and legends are every day threats. Players must choose to join one of the game's three secret societies, the Templars, Illuminati or The Dragon, and attempt to banish the demons and monsters.
 

Key features:

• Real-world locations - The game provides you many real cities in the world. New York, London and Seoul are among the places that you can explode.

• No classes and levels - Many new MMOs become to make their games in this way to get rid of boring grinding. But can it works?

• Secret & Myth - Many secret societies are brought into the game. You can join the Illuminati, the Templars or the Dragon and discover their secrets. The story could be quite interesting.
