After years of teases, Age of Conan and Anarchy Online developer Funcom has released the first screenshots from its third massively multiplayer title, The Secret World.

Conceived and directed by The Longest Journey creator Ragnar Tornquist, the modern-day MMO tells of a supernatural conflict involving three secret societies: the Illuminati, the Dragon and the Templars. Unlike many other entries in the genre, including Funcom's past MMOs, The Secret World is said to have "no classes or levels."

No word on when the PC and Xbox 360 MMO will launch, but beta signups are open.
