Guild Wars Factions World Championship Final & Unveiling of Guild Wars NightfallTM at Games Convention 2006
NCsoft Europe has today confirmed its presence at the Leipzig Games Convention, taking place 23 “ 27 August 2006.
Visitors
to the Games Convention will be able to witness the culmination of six
months of intense online battles where top guilds from all over the
globe have been competing for the crown of the first ever Guild Wars
Factions World Champions and a share in the $100,000 prize pot. The
final, which will take place on the main show floor, B12, Hall 5, is
sure to be both exciting and tense for not only the players but also
those watching.
NCsoft Europe will also treat visitors on the
show floor to the first look of their upcoming title Guild Wars
Nightfall, the next campaign in the international best-selling Guild
Wars series. Guild Wars Nightfall takes place on the continent of
Elona, Land of the Golden Sun, which has fallen under the shadow of an
evil, outcast god. The people of Elona will need more than a hero to
save them, they will need a hero to lead them ... for nightfall is at
hand.
Dirk Metzger, Marketing Director, NCsoft Europe says:
"Guild Wars is a hugely popular title in Germany and both the German
press and consumers have always been very supportive. Leipzig is the
perfect place for us to showcase Guild Wars Nightfall and the buzz at
the convention makes it the ideal place to host the final of the Guild
Wars Factions World Championship."
Alongside the tournament and
demonstration NCsoft Europe's Director of Product Development, Thomas
Bidaux will take part in the GC Developer Conference where he will
discuss overturning the traditional perceptions of MMOGs and will look
at the four new developments that he believes will herald a second,
more lasting, revolution of the genre.
