Funcom has built The Park around The Secret World IP, utilizing a location as well as characters and story elements from the MMO.

Also, from the Q2 financial report:

* The Live Games – The Secret Word, Age of Conan, and Anarchy Online – were the major contributors to the revenues
and all three games exceeded internal forecast in 2Q FY15.

New company strategy
* Leverage and grow the internal IPs, as releasing more games using our IPs will allow cross promotion between the games and
attract new gamers to both new and existing products
• Keep developing and supporting the existing MMORPGs as they are an important source of revenue and drive the internal IPs

One of the most frequent criticisms of TSW out there is that it should have been a single-player game and not an MMO, which I an opinion I understand though not one I share. So this is probably a smart move. There's a lot of affection for the setting out there among people that tried the game and didn't stick around, so I think this game has the potential to do very well for Funcom.

That said, this trailer isn't really anything other than the Atlantic Island coaster + flashing lights, and for a game coming out in 2 (!) months I'd like to see more of what the game actually is.

well, it was called teaser and not trailer, so i guess we will know more soon(tm)

Moved Marlo's thread as requested, and merged it with Vike's to have one thread.
