NCsoft: Closed beta for Guild Wars 2 in 2010, releases "year 2011"

The MMO sequel Guild Wars 2 won't be releasing any time in 2010, though "at least a closed beta" is expected by publisher NCsoft in 2010.

As for the full game, fans will have to wait for developer ArenaNet to finish "probably sometime" in 2011. Blade & Soul not until then too.

"I believe there will be certain public events in the year 2010... at least a closed beta test for those titles. Commercialisation will be expected, at this point, probably sometime in the year 2011," said NCsoft CFO Jaeho Lee during an investor call, reports Eurogamer.

Guild Wars is a free-to-play MMO from ArenaNet, and has enjoyed some expansions. Have you enjoyed the instance heavy MMO from NCsoft? Check out the trailer.
