In a recent interview with Videogamer.com, The Secret World\u2019s lead designer Martin Bruusgaard admits that he is worried about the release of NCSoft\u2019s massively anticipated MMORPG, Guild Wars 2.<\/p>\n
When asked whether he sees Guild Wars 2 as a legitimate threat to the success of The Secret World, he answered, “Yeah. That would be for me personally, I’m not speaking for the company here, but for me yeah, I think Guild Wars [2] will do really well.”<\/p>\n
Bruusgaard elaborated, explaining the challenges faced when brining out a new MMO. “I think it’s more difficult to come out with an MMO period, I have to be honest about that. I mean Star Wars just came out and it’s doing fairly well, and Guild Wars is getting fantastic previews. A lot of people are excited about that, including me. I was a huge Guild Wars 1 fan.”<\/p>\n
When asked what will set The Secret World apart, Bruusgaard said “The modern-day setting, I think that appeals to a lot of people. The story, the way we tell a story. The factions, the secret societies are new and fresh, everyone has their own agenda. And it creates good PvP. That’s how I feel that we stick out, and we have a chance to…a right to live, sort of, if you get what I mean.”<\/p>\n
