Blast off to the Red Planet for a limited time and make first contact with the new physics in a spaced out, low-gravity environment. Enter orbit between March 31 and April 2 to play in the limited time game mode, Next Stop: Mars!
Mars has been entirely overrun with alien spacecraft battling in the atmosphere, and tankers must engage in the land skirmish on the Martian surface to save April Fools’ Day for the galaxy. To join the fight, select the Lunar Chaffee in the Garage and hit “Battle” to be immediately transported to the battlefield, and to pure galactic chaos.

Secret World Legends plunges players into a shadowy war against the supernatural in an adventure that crosses our world with the realms of ancient myth and legend.

Players can go at it alone and enjoy the over 100 hours of story at their own pace, or team up with others as they explore the world and unravel its mysteries.
“One of our biggest goals in relaunching the game has been to reimagine the core gameplay experience in a way befitting a modern-day action RPG,” said Scott Junior, Executive Producer. “Secret World Legends features combat that feels more natural, deep systems that are more intuitive, better structuring of the early game for new players, and improved mission flow to strengthen the pace of progression for players.”
