Guild Wars launched in April 2005, and revolutionised the MMO with a subscription free model that removed one of the biggest boundaries of getting into the genre. The game topped the charts across the world, and its success has been emulated by the second game in the franchise, Guild Wards Factions, which topped the May charts in both North America and Europe.
“We’re incredibly pleased with Guild Wars’ performance in Europe,” said Max Brown, European Sales & Operations Director. “Guild Wars Prophecies was number one for 6 weeks when it launched in April 2005 now we are back with Guild Wars Factions which went number one all across Europe in its week of launch. The interesting thing we are seeing now is that Guild Wars Prophecies is back in the top ten, so the success of Guild Wars Factions is driving sales of Guild Wars Prophecies.“
A third instalment in the Guild Wars franchise is already well underway and is expected towards the end of the year.
