The Secret World has launched Update 1.6.2 today which brings with it a brand new Lair encounter as well as several other changes. This patch takes you on a journey around Kingsmouth and promises many challenges. The direct notes follow from The Secret World Official site:
Update 1.6.2 – April 15th
NEW!
- A new Lair encounter has been added! Some intrepid Secret Worlders have found a way to open a portal to the Eidolon of the Outer Dark’s dwelling place! You’ll want to gather 10 of your bravest and send them through to see what they find. Signs are pointing to a strange wreckage around Kingsmouth being the weakest thread between our realities.
General
- Using the Reconstructor won’t show the dialog popup on other players’ clients anymore.
- Opening the character sheet will no longer cause a clothing item to be previewed.

- Fixed the snake’s sound effects during the mission cinematic for Old Gods, New Tricks.
