Guild Wars 2 Heads to China

Guild Wars 2 is headed to China. With its release in the Asian country, NC Soft has announced that the game’s content will be on parity with its original US release, and that the game will see the same subscription-free model as its US counterpart.

Chinese players will be able to experience the game when it enters into closed beta on March 11.

Guild Wars 2 China’s operation general manager Atlantis Lai said, “Given the game’s high quality and beautiful design, compared with free-to-play and time-based pay-to-play games, this business model, where players purchase the game once and then play it for as long as they wish with no subscription fee, has the highest chance to appeal to the broadest base of players in China.

“As the most important and famous product in the 2014 China PC market, we believe Chinese players will also recognize Guild Wars 2 globally renowned quality.”

China signups are now active here.
