Posted by ubdarkfall on January 23rd, 2013

Is there a Guild Wars 2 extension in the works? At what point could it be out, however? That would be any individual's supposition —however certain conjectures have considerably more to go ahead than alternates.

The most recent report from Korean securities firm KDB Daewoo has basically great things to state about NCSoft, absolutely observing the launch of Guild Wars 2 and its beginning couple of months of operation. Explicitly, Q4 2012 is refered to as setting a record in managing benefit for the association, with GW2 heading the route to the tune of 118 billion Korean won ($110 million USD). Consolidated with a 3Q OP of W46 billion ($43 million), that makes for a fantastic aggregate of over $150 million.

Ancestry II additionally gets a portion of the acknowledgement for NCSoft's solid fourth quarter, with Blade & Soul and Aion needed to "remain even." As for the destiny, the report thinks about the abroad —i.e., North America and Europe —business to be the most lucrative in 2013, guild wars 2 will start unique extension incorporating this animating tidbit:

In China, the association is wanting to start Blade & Soul (through a producing concurrence with Tencent) in 3Q13 and Guild Wars 2 in 4Q13 (through a printing concurrence with Kong Zhong). Moreover, we need NCsoft to discharge a development pack for Guild Wars 2 in Europe and the US in 2H13.

OK, yet we all figure a GW2 extension is arranged at some focus in the following year or thereabouts. So what gives this evaluation any trustworthiness? For that reply, turn again toward the beginning couple of statements of the report:

Presently, we don't think they strolled in the entryways of the NCSoft office and some official declared, "Hey, we're doing a Guild Wars 2 development in the second a large part of 2013." But they possibly saw certain projections and were fit to sort out what they did see to concoct a sensible description for whatever spike(s) they might have perceived. Furthermore this is about as near the origin as you can get without going to ArenaNet's work places.

KDB Daewoo likewise expected that a Guild Wars 2 launch date advertisement was "fast approaching" around several weeks soon after the real advertisement was made, so they've got something of a track record.

Of course, they moreover expected Guild Wars 2 might start before Thanksgiving. Actually right, yet around several months off. Close sufficient? We'll need to sit back and watch.
