Guild Wars Nightfall to Debut in Free Global Event Open to Not Only Millions of Guild Wars Players, But to the World!
Announced today by ArenaNet, developer of the
wildly-popular franchise Guild Wars, the studio's latest game Guild
Wars Nightfall will make its debut in a massive event open to anyone
and everyone who would like to play. The event will take place
September 22, 2006, beginning at 07:01pm GMT and running through
September 25, 2006 at 6:59am GMT
The Guild Wars Nightfall World
Preview Event will feature previews of the new environments, new
missions and new battle arenas. The event will allow players to create
Nightfall-specific characters from the six core professions as well as
the two new Nightfall professions, the Dervish and the Paragon, and to
try out new Nightfall skills. The entire Istani province of the new
realm Elona will be open for player exploration, and players will be
able to view the first Nightfall in-game cinematics. In addition, two
new arenas will make their debut, the Sunspear Arena and Churranu
Island.
As an added bonus, key magazines in each European
territory will include an access key for an exclusive, in-game Gray
Giant miniature. The Gray Giant will be useable during the World
Preview Event, and then may be reactivated with a Guild Wars Nightfall
account upon release. To find out which magazine will carry the item,

The
Guild Wars live events are world-renowned, drawing players in
unprecedented numbers logging millions of game play hours. The Guild
Wars Nightfall World Preview Event is expected to exceed prior Guild
Wars beta records as eager fans await their first taste of one of the
year's most-anticipated games, and ArenaNet is preparing to handle the
influx of participants on its servers.
Guild Wars, an instant
bestseller worldwide upon its release in April 2005, and Guild Wars
Factions, the number one game in both North America and Europe earlier
this year, are global online roleplaying games. Guild Wars Nightfall
continues the tradition of inviting players to immerse themselves in an
epic storyline centered in a vibrant fantasy setting. Eager fans can
get the Guild Wars Nightfall Prerelease Bonus Pack in stores on
September 15, and the Guild Wars Nightfall Standard Edition and Guild
Wars Nightfall Collector's Edition on October 27, 2006.
