Gamespot’s hosting an exclusive look at the Scorched Desert in Funcom’s MMO, The Secret World. Apparently, the biblical plagues of old have returned to Egypt, but with a vengeance: we’ve never seen such nasty looking locust in our life. They appear to be on steroids. Also, a cult with ancient origins is raising the dead, which isn’t good either. It’s up to the player to combat all of this, and combat it you will, when the game releases in April 2012. Check out the video below.

Templar week continues on the official website for The Secret World, and today, Funcom has released a video of VG247′s preferred society in action.

If things prove otherwise, we’ll have to take him down. Hard. The Secret World is expected in 2012.

Funcom has said that while it’s too soon to give an exact date, it hopes to launch the open beta for The Secret World fairly soon. According to an interview with Funcom Canada CEO Miguel Caron (posted below), the firm is looking at around “Christmas” for the next beta phase, but it may come afterward. Back in August, the firm announced that 500,000 had signed up for closed beta, so hopefully it’s only a matter of a month or so before the doors are flung wide. The game is slated for an April launch. Thanks, Massively.
