Funcom has revealed the first in-game footage for The Secret World in a video on GameSpot, and it gives us a glimpse at the location of Kingsmouth. The small town in Maine was unveiled last week through the launch of a seemingly innocent site that vaguely hints at the town's dark secrets.

So what is the secret? Zombies. The video shows the undead wandering the town, and Game Director Ragnar Tørnquist states in an interview with GameSpot that players will be dropped right into the middle of the mayhem:

"It's the perfect example of what's happening all over the game world: Dark days are coming. And no one in the know wants widespread panic, so part of what the players have to do is contain this darkness -- prevent the truth from being broadcast beyond the borders of the secret world. Part of this is, of course, kicking zombie butt. But part of it is also following your secret society's storyline, exploring the island, digging into the lore, speaking with characters--finding out what's happened, how to stop it, and how that ties into similar events across the world."

While some fans on the official forums fear that zombies are overused nowadays, Tørnquist confirms that there will be "plenty of monsters to slay -- starting with zombies and ending up with, well, very scary things."
