The Guild Wars 2 release date was officially announced yesterday. It will be available from Tuesday, August 28th and pre-purchasers will be getting a 3-day headstart on the 25th. I couldn't be more excited. In fact, I think I may have had to excuse myself to the bathroom when I heard the news.
It's been over five years since ArenaNet announced that they would be starting the project back in 2007, and what an amazing accomplishment the game seems to have turned out to be. In the final couple of months leading up to its release ArenaNet have stated that they will be spending all their "remaining time optimizing, polishing, and balancing the game." We will even be lucky enough to get one last chance to help them do this; the last Beta Weekend has also been announced for July 20-22.
It's great to finally get a solid release date, I just wish they hadn't decided to put it right at the end of the bloody school summer holidays. I get a glorious six weeks off work and only in the last few days will I get to spend it finally getting to play GW2, why couldn't ArenaNet have just let me binge on it all summer long?
Well at least I might get to enjoy the sun now (if there is any), rather than hiss at it every time the breeze twitches the curtains. Screen-glare; bane of my life.
