Guild Wars Factions due on April 28

Guild Wars Factions introduces the mysterious realm of Cantha and asks players to choose a faction to pledge their allegiance to. Player actions will determine which faction takes control of the realm. While Factions doesn’t require the original Guild Wars to play, players with existing characters can use them in the new game.

“Guild Wars Factions is an exceptional game that invites players to immerse themselves in a truly epic adventure unlike any they have seen,” said Patrick Wyatt, a co-founder of ArenaNet. “The four new mission types create a unique experience that will engage both the role-playing 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.”

The Guild Wars Factions Collector’s Edition will include an art book, signature emotes for the Ritualist and Assassin professions, a Guild Wars Factions soundtrack, Ritualist cloth picture and a Factions desk calendar and mouse mat. More information on Guild Wars Factions can be found on the official Guild Wars website.
