Those looking
forward to Guild Wars' first full-on expansion pack haven't much longer
to wait, as NCSoft has announced a firm release date for it: April 28,
2006. Guild Wars
Factions takes
place on the Asia-inspired continent of Cantha, where players have to
fight an ancient evil.
Guild
Wars Factions is an exceptional game that invites players to immerse
themselves in a truly epic adventure unlike any they have seen, says
Patrick Wyatt, a co-founder of ArenaNet. The four new mission types
create a unique experience that will engage both the roleplaying and
competitive gamer in cooperative conquest of territories and strategic
battles. Set against the landscapes
of the visually stunning, Asian-themed continent of Cantha, and with two
new characters to choose from - Assassin and Ritualist - Guild Wars
Factions will redefine the online RPG experience.
