The Secret World: The Revenant Revealed

MMORPG.com and Funcom have partnered to bring our readers and exclusive look at one of the creatures from The Secret World. Today we feature a look at The Revenant complete with lore behind the creature and exclusive screens. Check it out!
Amongst the ranks of the living dead, the Revenant holds a special place. No mere reanimated corpse, the Revenant has formed from the restless fragments of those who, in life, did great evil. Devious and clever, the Revenants serve no master, no greater plan or intelligent design. All they crave is misery, pestilence, agony and death. They feed on terror and pain, and their presence is always an omen of impending doom.

Creepy.
Reminds me of Pyramid Head from Silent Hill.
Still cool looking thought

You wouldn't understand
You can also see him in action in one of the cinematic trailers, here
The monster creatures in TSW so far are great and imaginative.

The ease with which predictions are made on these forums:
Fratman: "I'm saying Spring 2012 at the earliest [for TOR release]. Anyone still clinging to 2011 is deluding themself at this point."
I wonder if they are going to show off this game at e3 this year?
i want to see if FC follows through with the 360 version.... they scrapped AOC on the 360.
Someone in another post yesterday linked that funcom will not bring this to console.
I like this design/inspiration a lot. Is it a playable class or a mob?
Missed that... because I was wondering why they chose Ravens and not Crows? Ravens in mythology are the good corvids: Wise and crafty eg The Hobbit "Old Kroake" whereas the flocks of crows ie a "murder of crows" follows the goblins marching to war or in Viking mythology eg. Think they should revisit that description? I'll get my coat...

"Whatcha thinking about?"
"I dunno, Revenant stuff."
I love how every post on the Video Trailer link is mostly trolls that don't even know what the game is about. Because they're to lazy to actually check out the site and read the text that was on the screen. People are saying, "They could have shown some combat. This all looks like fluff. Failcom blah blah blah.". The entire game is based on the conspiracies and hidden mysteries of urban/Historical myths and legends. I've been tracking this since before MMORPG was even posting information about it on their site. It's been in development for a while now. And I can tell if you're into story, lore, exploration, puzzle solving, etc. then this'll probably be a great title for a lot of people. For the rest of the Themepark junkies that keep complaining that they want "something new" but keep demanding the same thing they've played a thousand times, over, and over. Just...dont...lol.

I'm guessing it's not a playable class because they have "no greater plan or intelligent design." I dont think they're (FunCom) going the chaotic, dark route with their characters.
I've read several Sci/Fantasy-Fiction series where Ravens are the less desirable creatures in the world (i.e. the Ravens will eat well after this battle).
Certainly like the route TSW is headed. Really reminds me of the Dresden Files.

WTB as playable race plx!
My brand new bloggity blog.
Ugh, the site must have really high traffic right now. I can't get on it. And when I was on it, I got to watch one video and the the entire site froze. I closed it, and now it keeps saying that there is a problem loading the page, lol. Fudge >.<.
There will not be a 360 TSW, only PC.

this will give you a good idea as to how funcom game launches are like.
Most memorable games: AoC(Tryanny PvP), RIFT, GW, GW2, Ragnarok Online, Aion, FFXI, FFXIV, Secret World, League of Legends (Silver II rank)
Thank god, these games need to stop worrying about making something for multi-platforms and just focus on releasing a solid product.
Sounds like your average griefer in PvP.
Wonder how one is suppose to subdue and destroy these. Thinking shooting them full of holes leaves pieces of them all over to reform from. I really hope this has a ton of lore to go through. I liked it from the first where there was just a message.
Nobody tops Pyramid Head, nobody. Best monster in recorded history, ever.

Use fire. Fire cleanses all. At least, that's what the voices in my head keep saying.
Word is Microsoft scrapped the 360 version, not Funcom. Seeing the shape AoC was in when it was released, you can't really blame them.
Looks like a game to keep a eye on.
This is a promising game,as long as they stay away from multi platform i would play it.
I want to play as one.
Vault-Tec analysts have concluded that the odds of worldwide nuclear armaggeddon this decade are 17,143,762... to 1.
I hope they scrap the 360 version and Focus on making an actual good MMO on PC to begin with...
Just from these shots alone I would want to at least try this game. Personally this enemy reminds me of the Tengu bird people race brought about by asian influence. Mixed with a little bit of the Hunter from Left4Dead. Anyway it's just a thought.
@GTwander - I think you exagerate just slightly bud. Pyramid head is a design inspired by many a long line of supernatural influenced serial killers. Jason being one of the major ones that comes to mind. He has a quirk like Jason had originally (hockey mask = pyramid like head) which has influenced many movies and shows (the mask not the head). They both stalk their prey slowly with violent results. He carries an over the top Japanese anime influenced blade where Jason just carried a large machette. Neither of the two guys talk. They are both huge physically. I will give PH one thing over Jason. PH likes to rape mannequins.
Just stating an opinion GTwander. Not really arguing against yours...
@Talthanys - Agreed. Fire owns...
