Funcom and distributor Electronic Arts have yet to set a specific release date for The Secret World but have hinted at a 2012 launch on PC, with the fate of a potential Xbox 360 version also still unconfirmed (if Age of Conan's console plans are any indication though, don't hold your breath waiting for that one).
