The first season of the game will be released in 2015, and it will be possible to join The Black Watchmen ranks via Mac, PC and Steam.
The Black Watchmen was created as part of the marketing campaign for the launch of The Secret World game by the Norwegian editor Funcom. It is now a complete transmedia franchise including a Persistent Alternate Reality Game (PARG) coupled with a comic book published in French and in English by Num Editeur, based in Quebec.
