Third Guild Wars on show at E3

By Ellie Gibson Published 10 April, 2006

But only behind closed doors.

NCsoft has announced that the third instalment in the Guild Wars series will go on show at this year's E3 in May. But behind closed doors, mind, so only a select few will get to take a peek.

However, visitors to the show floor will be able to play Guild Wars Factions, which we got to try out last month. Back then, ArenaNet's Jeff Strain told us that the company plans to release new GW campaigns every six months - and that the third title, which has been in development since November, is "already far, far down the pipe."

Of course, GW3 isn't the only game NCsoft will be showing at E3. There's also PC MMO Tabula Rasa, which is set in a brand new sci-fi universe, and Aion - an MMORPG that's out later this year. Then there's Exteel, an online robot fighter, and Dungeon Runners - another MMORPG, this time set in a fantasy realm.

Expect more details of NCsoft's E3 line-up when Eurogamer hits the show floor next month.

    Good stuff.

    Although I fear I may quit Guild Wars before then. A certain female friend isn't too happy with the large portion of time I spend on that game.

    oh well.

    I'm curious as to the angle they'll take in Guild Wars 3. Prophecies was geared towards solo guilds, Factions seems to be a lot more about cross guild co-operation. Maybe 3 will have more pve or solo play, although I suppose they'll just make the battles even bigger :)

    I also like the look of Tabula Rasa, being made by the guy who created the Ultima series and could be a fun pve space marine type game.

    looking forward to TR as it seems a bit more twitch than grind. OH an eXteel too, giant robots always do it for me :)
