NCSoft released their earning report and conference call. The plans for GW2 include a release in China and an expansion in 2013.
Conference Call: http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/376352/page/1
Earnings Report: http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/02/05/ncsoft-earnings-report-shows-healthy-growth/
That confirms the 2013 target date for an Expansion…. what could it possible be?
The information in this report is not correct.
It is true that Kongzhong is our Chinese publisher and that we are working with them to release Guild Wars 2 into the Chinese market. But like with the release in North America and Europe, we will do extensive beta testing, and the feedback of those tests will determine the time when we will release the game in China.
It is also true that we have said in the past that we will do an expansion at one point. But currently we are fully committed to expand the world of Guild Wars 2 through our Living Story (you can read more about it in this blog post by narrative designer Angel McCoy)
