Funcom has released a new developer's diary video that features member of the team discussing The Secret World's story and missions. The video showcases quite a bit of gameplay footage, so check it out below for a taste of the game's modern day setting.

One of the developers featured in the video is Lead Content Designer Joel Bylos. He just published his first blog entry, which features even further insight into the game's story. He explains how the game's modern setting allows them to do things like use a "vacuum cleaner scrawled with arcane symbols to perform a temporary exorcism" and have characters check their phones and e-mails for messages.
