Breaking:
Ok they seem to have officially revealed the game now:
Cry Gaia is not the official title it has been revealed but The Secret World is.
- It's a mmo, with a lot of action elements and rpg elements and it revolves around building your character. Like any other mmo you can both solo and play in groups.
- They are taking every current time myths and applying them to this game and it's set in our world in our time with those myths applied. They are still a bit secretive about this. It's Ragner Tornquist's lovechild they say.
- They haven't revealed a release date yet but it is being built for the PC & X360. Right now they are focusing much on making Age of Conan absolutely killer which will release October 30th for PC and 2008 for the X360 though full production is still taking place for The Secret World as Funcom has 260+ employees at the moment.
- The market aim for The Secret World is for people 25years and above and the content will be suitably grown up and it's probably the first mmo with really tangible horror elements. Looks like it will be the worlds second M rated mmo game with the first being Funcom's other mmo Age of Conan.

Looks like they have started teasing about their next project.
Most likely the mmo title they have been working on codenamed 'The World Online'.
Some hints could also be found throughout the net, these two from a Norwegian website (Dagbladet):
The last one here has a Norwegian line in it on the top right which reads:
'Amundsen found it under the ice'
Intriguing.
EDIT:
I got some more info from a Norwegian article:
- The circle seems to be a recurring symbol. Click the 'O' on the official website. A puzzle should eventually lead you to a forum:

- 'The World Online' (now titled The Secret World) was referred to as the first Online RPG set in Our World only with a bit more mysticism attached to it.
- Hints go from «The Quest for the Grail continues», «Aliens have landed on our planet. They are still here» to «There is an afterlife».
