Obvious location is darkdaysarecoming.com but perusing the front page revealed no new links, hidden or otherwise. I checked twitter and google for things related to Dark Places but came up with nothing of interest there either.

Either this is a clever ruse eluding to Santa clause or we need to start looking around.

Facebook posted a new art
http://www.facebook.com/thesecretworld?ref=nf

Their message:
"The Secret World: Merry X-mas from The Secret World, stay merry these holidays and look out for this guy."

How to describe the art? .. you know the hunchback of Notre Dame? Zombified.. with a triple scyte, and 4 arms. Yeah.

Anyway, if anyone spots him anywhere else on the web... let us know, right?

Nothing new on Sanctuary of Secrets either.

Seeing as how ARG stuff isn't officially acknowledged by the company I doubt this is directly related anyways.

Edit:nevermind, just a new piece of artwork. Is that guy using a Scythe made of Katanas?

Here is the Flickr group called Dark Places. I'm not sure if there is anything pertinent there, but since there were previous clues on Flickr, I thought I'd check there.

hmm upon further speculation, I think this could be hinting at the new video...illuminati are supposed to be fighting zombies in New York right?

What if that's the thing he fights in the video lol.

Cheng Ho seems sort of interesting. Apparently, he was a mariner/explorer who, it was once thought, travelled the entire globe and found America in the 1400s.

It is no longer believed that this occurred, but it seems like a good mystery/secret for the game's lore.
