Guild Wars: Eye of the North went live today at 12:00 a.m.
ArenaNet has issued an official press release.
NCsoft® and ArenaNet® have launched Guild Wars: Eye of the NorthTM, the first expansion to the Guild Wars® franchise of subscription-free, online roleplaying games. Guild Wars players who purchase the expansion can access Eye of the North content through any of the multi-million-selling Guild Wars campaigns–Guild Wars, Guild Wars FactionsTM, or Guild Wars NightfallTM. The expansion also includes an innovative feature that allows players to take achievements they have earned over the years with them into the forthcoming Guild Wars 2TM.
Guild Wars: Eye of the North, continues the subscription-free business model pioneered by ArenaNet. The expansion is now available at the Official Guild Wars In-game Store and at Plaync.com, as well as from retailers in North America and Europe, for an expected suggested retail price of $39.99.
Last night, we celebrated the game’s launch as it became available to players worldwide. This was a unique experience, because every other game that I’ve worked on has gone on sale in retail stores at about 9 a.m. (or whenever the store opens) on Monday or Tuesday morning. Any celebration would usually occur when the final build was submitted to the publisher, often a month or two before the game was released, or a short while after it appeared on store shelves. However, last night, we massed in an open part of the building along with the other NCsoft offices from around the world who joined via video conference to count down the final seconds before players were allowed to experience Guild Wars: Eye of the North. Games tend to go out with a whimper rather than a bang; the last few weeks are often dedicated to tracking down the remaining critical bugs before sending the game off to be manufactured. It was nice to give Guild Wars: Eye of the North the send off it deserved.
See you in Tyria.
The release of Guild Wars: Eye of the North is rapidly approaching. Previews for the game have been posted at a number of different websites.
GW:EN is available for pre-order, or, if you don’t own any of the Guild Wars games, you can pick up Guild Wars Platinum Edition which also includes the original game.
ArenaNet has released a new trailer for Guild Wars: Eye of the North.
High resolution versions are available at the official Guild Wars website.
As I mentioned in my last post, I’m not taking any break between jobs. After a restful Memorial Day weekend, I officially started work as a game designer at ArenaNet, the creator of Guild Wars. ArenaNet’s most recently announced projects are Guild Wars: Eye of the North, an expansion set in Tyria, the world players explored in the first Guild Wars campaign, and Guild Wars 2.
It has always been my desire to work on PC Strategy and RPG games, and ArenaNet stands among the best in PC game development. I’m very excited about what’s in store for the future of Guild Wars and am really looking forward to working on the game. All in all, it’s been a pretty good start to the summer.
Today was my final day as an employee of Amaze Entertainment. After a great deal of deliberation, I decided that it was time to move on and pursue other opportunities. I was employed by Amaze Entertainment for nearly three and a half years. During that time, I helped ship five games for the Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS. Amaze Entertainment was a great place to begin my career, and I am extremely proud of my accomplishments.
My next venture will begin in a few days time. I’ll post an update once everything has officially begun.
Starting today, visitors at Walt Disney World and Disneyland can bring a Nintendo DS and a copy of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End into the park to unlock exclusive content.
Nintendo DS wireless hotspots, the locations of which are indicated with “X” marks, are hidden near the Pirates of the Caribbean rides. Using the DS Download Play interface, visitors can download a small application from the hotspot that unlocks additional cheat codes and character costumes in the Nintendo DS game.
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End is now available for purchase for the Nintendo DS. The movie release will follow this Friday.
Disney Interactive Studios has issued an official press release:
Inspired by the events of the third film, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End for the Nintendo DS focuses on adventure, platforming and puzzle solving as players explore environments and experience touch screen dueling to slash, parry and dodge using the Nintendo DS stylus. In addition to wireless multiplayer games such as dueling and pirates’ dice, players can download “cheats” through a special Nintendo DS Download Program available starting today and continuing through Labor Day exclusively at Disneyland and Walt Disney World.
My latest game, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End for the Nintendo DS, will be released in one week on May 22, 2007. It’s available for pre-order from a number of online retailers.
Following up on their previous preview of the Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End games, GameSpot has released a hands-on preview of the Nintendo DS version. Three gameplay videos were posted along with the preview.
GameSpot has posted a preview of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, the latest (announced) game I’ve worked on for the Nintendo DS. The preview includes a few screenshots of the adventure game as well as the touch driven dueling mode. Most of the copy is about the Xbox 360 and Wii versions of the game, developed by Eurocom Entertainment Software, but there’s a nice summary of the DS version near the end.
