With Joel Bylos out of the picture as The Secret World’s lead, the monthly update letter torch has been passed to other members of the team, starting with Senior Community Manager Laurie Payne.
Payne’s April update letter is full of studio backpatting and general enthusiasm about Update 11, although she says little that we didn’t already know about the first season finale. She talks up the Orochi Tower’s randomization and one-day cooldown as a highly replayable piece of content: “Each floor will present enemies and challenges that must be defeated to gain access to different levels where players will discover more about the secret projects haunting the tower.”
She also mentions that the next world event will have another new pet while simultaneously making the previous event pet easier to obtain.
