Is there a release date for Guild Wars 2 yet?

I doubt it but just want to make sure. Is there any news on when it will be released?Is there a release date for Guild Wars 2 yet?
No, ArenaNet/NCSoft have not released a release date yet. The only thing they have said, is "When It's Done", because they want the game to be the very best it can be, and they will take whatever time they need to make it so. Right now they themselves don't even know exactly how long this will take, so all dates you see on other sites (like IGN) are pure speculation, and release dates published on sites like amazon are only placeholders until the real releasedate is announced.



The only thing that has been announced, is that there will be a closed alpha test and closed beta test before the end of the year (no applications are accepted for these, it's friends and family only - do NOT trust sites that claim to give you access to the beta; they are fake!).

They have stated that there will be a public beta closer to the releasedate, but when that will be, is also still unknown. Within the guild wars fan community, most people believe it will be either late 2011 or early 2012, but there is no way to be sure.



Your best bet is, to keep an eye on the official guild wars 2 site and on the arenanet blog. Both the public beta and the release date will definitely be announced there.
