The Secret World game director, Joel Bylos, has decided to shed a little light on the game’s upcoming fourth update known as Big Trouble in the Big Apple.

This newest update will include reticule combat, a new weapon, and a brand new raid set in New York. This newest raid will be “the first raid set in a devastated New York City where players must battle a towering Eldritch horror in the ruins of Time Square.”

“I am also happy to reveal that Issue #4 will be introducing one of the most requested features during Beta: reticule combat. This is something I wanted to bring into the game from the moment I put on the Game Director shoes as I feel it makes combat a lot more direct and exciting. We are not forcing it upon anyone, though. You will be able to freely switch between traditional targeting and the reticule depending on what you feel is best for you,” said Bylos on the game’s official blog.

The developer is planning a live stream event on October 12 where it will showcase the game’s new reticule combat.
