Funcom is excited to release a pack of brand new Investigation Missions for The Secret World, called Sidestories: Further Analysis. Sidestories are a new type of downloadable content packs which will come in addition to the game’s regular content updates.

Sidestories: Further Analysis is now live in the in-game Item Shop and it offers four new Investigation Missions with fresh, deep and unique puzzles in New York, Egypt, Transylvania, Hell and more. An epic reward, The Inspector’s Gadget and a Deep Mystery Box, awaits those who complete all four missions.

The Secret World’s Investigation Missions focus on figuring out mysteries and solving puzzles. Instead of defeating enemies through combat, players instead complete missions by for example deciphering runic texts or piecing together evidence from a murder case, and Further Analysis gives the players even more of this unique MMO content.

With Sidestories, you get:

• The Investigation Mission called Immersion from Lisa Hui in the Scorched Desert, where you investigate Orochi comms equipment in Egypt to try and get a signal from Tokyo HQ.
• In The Animate Clay you return to Dr Anton Aldini in New York and follow the trail of one of his lost creations as it struggles to find its purpose.
• Trials of the Dragon starts you off in the Shadowy Forest and lets you explore the monster hunting prowess of your old friends, Tibor and Luminita. Here you get the opportunity to undergo the Draculesti trials to become a true monster hunter.
• The fourth Investigation Mission, The Abandoned, marks a return to the mysterious  Mosul and sweeps you  into the back stories of the fairytale creatures of the Shadowy Forest.
