Secret World Legends opens to all, offers vets 3 character slots

Who needs a restricted headstart? Apparently not Secret World Legends. The reboot was initially opening its doors early to only The Secret World owners, but that quickly changed; during the dev livestream it was announced that the headstart was now open to everyone! That means anyone can go to the official site and hop into this free-to-play game. (The Steam launch, however, is still set for July.)

In a move that will please veteran players, Funcom also announced that TSW owners will be granted two additional character slots in SWL, to make a total of three slots for free. This works well for those who were having trouble choosing a faction.

The newly released Producer’s Letter also gives players instructions for linking their TSW accounts to their Secret World Legends accounts in order to have their cosmetics transfer over. In order for the Legacy transfer to be successful, players must log into SWL with their TSW credentials, and the two accounts must be linked by “some time in August 2017” when the service will expire.
