Celebrating the chinese Year of the Dragon, ArenaNet has announced that their upcoming MMORPG is coming this year.
| Guild Wars 2 has captured the imagination of gamers and media all over the world with its action-oriented combat, its living world full of dynamic events, its highly personalised role-playing experience, and the handcrafted artistry that suffuses every element of the game. Last year, thousands of you joined us at shows and events all over the world to try Guild Wars 2 for yourself. This year, you’ll finally be able to immerse yourself in the vast, diverse world of Tyria. |
The Guild Wars sequel will also launch a few betas this spring, so it looks like the game development is going smoothly.
| We recently finished our first closed beta test, and we’re now ready to hold progressively larger events. In February we’ll invite select press to participate in beta testing, and in March and April we’ll aggressively ramp up the size of our beta test events so that many of you will have a chance to participate. And of course, this all leads to the release of Guild Wars 2 later this year. |
As many of you know, the first Guild Wars featured a lack of subscription fees, making it a lot more accesible than other traditional and popular MMORPGs like World of Warcraft or Star Wars: The Old Republic. And seems that its sequel will follow the same model.
