The first Guild Wars expansion pack, called “Eye of the North,” will be released on August 31. Like the core game, the expansion will not require a subscription for those who want to try their hand at some fantasy online role-playing.
Eye of the North follows-up on events told in the original Guild Wars campaign and is set in previously unexplored areas of the Tyrian continent. The expansion contains 18 large, multi-level dungeons, 150 new skills across all 10 professions, 10 new Heroes, 40 new armor sets and more items, weapons and titles.
Additionally, a new Hall of Monuments will let players carry the legacy of their characters into the upcoming Guild Wars 2. The Hall of Monuments will allow players to preserve their accomplishments and titles from Guild Wars, Factions and Nightfall, which can then be claimed in Guild Wars 2.
Guild Wars: Eye of the North will be available for $39.99 in North America and 34.99 Euros in Europe.
