After the long
delays of Issue 2, I did not expect
Issue 3 to be released on time this month. Color me pleasantly surprised. In a
sudden ninja move, they have announced Issue 3: The Cat God will go live
tomorrow during the weekly maintenance.
I’d like to give a recap of what’s expected in Issue 3, but details have
been difficult to dig up. There’s been no official announcement other than it’s
due tomorrow, and no mentions aside from a few hints in a press release about
Joel Bylos taking the reigns of game director from Ragnar Tørnquist.
I have to
admit, as disappointed as I’ve been with the Funcom layoffs and the loss of
Martin Bruusgaard, this does somewhat ameliorate my skepticism at the claims
that monthly updates will continue. Now
if only they’d put something good in the store, and actually fix the hideous
character models. I continue to have nothing but praises to sing about The Secret
World aside from its subpar character models.

Manager Morteia is gathering the details, so hopefully there will be an
announcement sometime soon. Although admittedly at this point there’s little
point, tomorrow we’ll see what’s in it firsthand.
My assumption
is this cat god, whoever it is, will be Egyptian. There are any number of gods
it could be, though my money is on Bast, Sekhmet, Pakhet, or Maahes. Bast is
perhaps the obvious choice, but Sekhmet takes the lead for me as she already
features prominently in The Secret World lore. Anyone else care to venture a
guess?
