GUILD WARS 2
A new frontier
in MMORPGs:
Guild Wars 2
Guild Wars 2 is the critically acclaimed sequel to Guild Wars. Soon after its highly anticipated official release in August 2012, NC became the first Korean video game company to win 5 GOTY awards. Guild Wars 2 was also featured in TIME Magazine’s ‘Best Video Games of 2012.’ Highly praised for its artistic quality and commercial success, this game received an unprecedented level of exposure.
Living World update:
a new story direction
Living World, an original story expansion for Guild Wars 2, offers engaging content as well as a unique storyline system rarely seen in other MMORPG video games. The existing world changes according to the outcomes of player’s actions in Living World, which results in a constantly evolving and dynamic timeline. With every update, each story can be uniquely expanded tremendously.
A nuanced combat
system with
satisfying strategy
With its unique setup allowing players to modify available skills and attack scope by equipping different weapons without any class limitations, this game adopts a new take on the preexisting MMORPG combat system and presents new perspectives and entertainment. With a high degree of freedom allowing players to choose from an arsenal of weapons and combat playstyles, as well as dynamic action including dodge and roll, this game enables players to enjoy gameplay even more by tailoring to their unique tactics.
Extending the
original game
with expansion packs
The two subsequent expansion packs, Heart of Thorns™ and Path of Fire™, are by no means less engaging than the original content. The expansion packs offer news areas for exploration, stronger enemies, as well as new systems and weapons to help characters develop, proving that Guild Wars 2 has endless potential for constant evolution of its universe and playability.
