Secret World Legends turns contemporary settings into the front line of a supernatural conflict. Its story-driven world draws on ancient myths and legends, sending players through places such as London, Seoul, New York, Transylvania, and Egypt as they confront creatures invading the modern day. The appeal is not just the global tour: a dark, mature narrative and voice acting frame the mysteries as part of a larger, unfolding story.
Combat combines a broad selection of weapons with supernatural abilities, while character customization offers choices across weapons, gear, clothing, powers, and augmentations. Investigation Missions give the game a distinct counterpoint to fighting: players must apply their wits to solve mysteries as well as use their combat skills. Missions and quests carry the narrative through locations inspired by the real world, reshaped by myth and horror.
The full storyline can be played solo or with friends in a shared multiplayer experience, making this an adventure designed for both individual progress and cooperative company.
