Guild Wars: Nightfall Press Release
The next installment in the acclaimed Guild Wars series was announced, today, by NCsoft and ArenaNet. _Guild Wars: Nightfall will be abailable in stores, world-wide on October 27, 2006. Here is a little bit about what the new title will have to offer:
In this third Guild Wars campaign, players must fight to hold back the night as a mad ruler attempts to free an outcast god and bring darkness to the continent of Elona. But players won’t fight alone. Guild Wars Nightfall introduces new customizable Heroes who level up, follow player instructions in combat, and use skills and equipment of the player’s choosing. These Heroes will follow the player through savage coasts, ancient monuments, and poisonous deserts during an epic story that spans twenty missions and hundreds of quests. And for the ultimate one-on-one challenge, competitive players can choose to enter the new Hero vs. Hero Battles, where they group with a custom team of Heroes and fight against other players from around the world and their customized groups of Heroes.
In addition to all this, Nightfall will be availabe in a limited and standard edition. For information on what that will contain, make the jump.
Guild Wars Nightfall will be available in both Standard and Collector’s Editions. The highly-coveted, limited run, Collector’s Edition will include the Guild Wars Nightfall game as well as a Making of Guild Wars Nightfall behind-the-scenes DVD, a collector’s art book, collectible skill pins, a character mini-standee, a poster-sized map of Elona, the Guild Wars Nightfall soundtrack CD, and more.Sounds great, but I still wish there was a bit more PVP involved. Everything being instanced got old for me, really fast, during my brief time with it. Perhaps I’ll give it another chance with this one.
OK, time to go home. For some reason, I cannot get Mrs. Miller’s rendition of Downtown out of my head. Maybe I just miss Fruit Brute and co…. :-(
Thanks to Jimmy for sending in the official press release. [Guild Wars]
