Guild Wars 2 Announces Launch Date
NCsoft has announced that Guild Wars 2 will officially launch on August 28, 2012 in North America and Europe.
Guild Wars 2 is a successor to the original Guild Wars franchise, built by the ArenaNet development team. Like Guild Wars, players will have to purchase a copy of the game, but will not be charged a subscription fee. The team is preparing and polishing the game for its launch now, and will feature one last beta weekend from July 20 through July 22.
President and co-founder of ArenaNet, Mike O’Brien, commented:
“We’re offering gamers an experience that delivers on the promise of online gaming with a truly social experience in an immense, shared world. After five years of creation, development, and polish, announcing the launch date of Guild Wars 2 is a huge milestone for us, but the thing we’re most looking forward to is seeing gamers from all over the globe explore this world and begin creating their own stories.”
