Funcom has promoted Joel Bylos from lead content designer on The Secret World to game director. He will work alongside producer Scott Junior and creative director Ragnar Tornquist to supervise the development team.
“Being given the opportunity to lead the game into a bold, new future is definitely a dream come true for me,” said Bylos. “I am very proud of what we as a team have created with The Secret World’, and it is truly a brilliant canvas that will allow us to create more groundbreaking MMO experiences for many years to come. The Secret World’s only really getting started, and with a game world that draws upon our own,real world, there is no limit to what sort of amazing stories we can tell and fantastic locations we can visit in the upcoming content updates.”
“Joel and I have worked together for many years, and I cannot think of anyone more suited to maintain the vision and lead the game going forward than him,” said Tornquist. “I look forward to continue working with Joel on bringing the game forward through many, exciting post-launch updates, and I especially look forward to spending more time expanding on what I truly enjoy the most about The Secret World, the story, characters and the setting itself.”
