ArenaNet Founder Mike O'Brien Discusses Guild Wars 2 MMO Launch On August 28

The wait is almost over for MMO fans who have been reading about NCsoft and ArenaNet’s Guild Wars 2, and playing the public beta weekends. After taking E3 2012 off to focus on polishing the game, the developer has finally revealed when Tyria will be open for exploration.

“Guild Wars 2 and gaming fans have been asking us since our announcement that we were working on the game when they will be able to jump in and experience the game that will define this and future generations of games, and today we are thrilled we can give them what they’ve been asking for, the release date – August 28, 2012,” said Mike O’Brien, head of ArenaNet and executive producer of Guild Wars 2. “And only in a matter of months, after years of development, they will have that opportunity to do what they have been waiting for.”
