The Secret World Celebrates Christmas With Krampus Monsters

Funcom is thrilled to announce a major update of The Secret World with the launch of Issue #13: Trail of Shadows!

In this all new Issue players can enjoy stories from some of their favorite survivors in Tokyo, and come face-to-face with the darkest of shadows.

We are also introducing a new gifting system this holiday season, so players can give each other gifts from the in-game Item Store for the first time!

Krampus is making a comeback this Christmas to punish those who have been naughty, but the players can turn the tables on the Krampus monsters and use their portals to enter Niflheim and fight Hel herself! The Christmas Conspiracy and Mayan End of Days events can also be enjoyed during the holiday.

Players can get their hands on the all new Sack of Winter Cheer and Bag of Season’s Revelry, which contain tons of new Christmas items and outfits, either from the Item Store or by taking part in the events.

John Breeden II

As a journalist John has covered everything from rural town meetings to the U.S. Congress and even done time as a crime reporter and photographer.|His first venture into writing about the game industry came in the form of a computer column called "On the Chip Side," which grew to have over 1 million circulation and was published in newspapers in several states. From there he did several "ask the computer guy" columns in magazines such as Up Front! in New Mexico and Who Cares? in Washington D.C. When the Internet started to become popular, he began writing guided Web tours for the newly launched Washington Post online section as well as reviews for the weekend section of the paper, something he still does from time to time. His experience in trade publications came as a writer and reviewer for Government Computer News. As the editor of GiN, he demands strict editorial standards from all the writers and reviewers. Breeden feels the industry needs a weekly, reliable trade publication covering the games industry and works tirelessly to accomplish that goal.
