Lengthy Retrospective Video Contains History Of ArenaNet, Awesome Guild Wars 2 Footage
Though ArenaNet has not yet announced a release date for Guild Wars 2, it could very well end up being a 2011 release. To help celebrate the slow build-up to this anticipated sequel, NCSoft has released a 15-minute retrospective video that covers the origins of developer ArenaNet, how the original Guild Wars came together, and what we can expect from Guild Wars 2. It even has some screens from a very early, very rough-looking build of the first Guild Wars (such as the one above).
Watch the full video below and enjoy the great-looking Guild Wars 2 footage. ArenaNet is quite the interesting company, and I'll certainly be keeping my fingers crossed for seeing more from them this year.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
