The Secret World's new secret-agent themed update has flamethrowers and creepy bunkers

Alt-fantasy MMORPG enjoyed the game despite some problems, and the current fans seem to really enjoy the themed episodic updates. Just launched this week is issue 7, a superspy-themed update featuring exploding bridges, snowmobile chases, and a new flamethrower weapon.

Called “ A Dream to Kill ,” players will set up the storyline that fleshes out the continued corruption of Tokyo via the Agartha portal. The update also has a preview video that shows off new monsters, locations, and the new flamethrower. Check it out below:

The Secret World carefully steps around the sacred name because of legal reasons, I'm sure, but I can come out and say it: this update tastes of all kinds of spicy James Bond flavors. You've got the snowy chase scene reminiscent of The World is Not Enough, the diving off a tall thing like in Goldeneye, the flamethrower like in... well, Bond has never actually used a straight-up flamethrower. Advantage: Secret World.

The Secret World saw a surge of activity earlier this year, and it looks like most of that bump is sticking around to enjoy the regular content updates.
