NCsoft announces Ghosts of Ascalon, based on a novel
NCsoft has just announced Ghosts of Ascalon, the first novel based on the best-selling MMO game Guild Wars. The novel is written by Jeff Grubb and Matt Forbeck and it introduces readers to a fantasy world ravaged by war and chaos, and sets the stage for the release of the highly-anticipated sequel Guild Wars 2.
The game, which will be released in Europe by June of 2010, takes place in the dangerous land of Tyria, the setting of Guild Wars. A mismatched band of adventurers, each plagued by ghosts from their pasts, journeys into the haunted, war-torn kingdom of Ascalon to retrieve a sacred relic that holds the promise of peace between humanity and their ancestral enemies, the savage charr. But not everyone wants peace, and the undead king who rules Ascalon won't give it up easily!
The players adventured through an epic storyline that spanned three continents or faced off against each other in head-to-head combat. Ghosts of Ascalon takes place in the same era as the upcoming Guild Wars 2, hundreds of years after the events of the original Guild Wars series.
