Guild Wars Now In Russian

NCsoft Europe and ArenaNet are delighted to announce that following the recent Polish localisation launch, the award winning Guild Wars franchise will now also be available for Russian players in their native language from 19th April 2007.

The epic saga of Guild Wars, Guild Wars Factions and Guild Wars Nightfall has proved to be very successful with Russian players, currently available at stores with localised Russian box and instructions. New and existing Russian players will shortly experience an even greater immersion into these epic adventures, as Russian becomes the latest in-game language to be included, continuing Guild Wars expansion into new markets around the world. Unlike other online role-playing games, Guild Wars does not divide users of different languages onto different servers, but instead allows players from around the world to play together.

"We are delighted by the overwhelming enthusiasm of Russian players for Guild Wars", said Max Brown, NCsoft Europe Sales and Operations Director. "With fully localised versions of all three Guild Wars titles, there will be no obstacles to prevent all Russian players, new and old from fully experiencing the wonders of the Guild Wars campaigns."

Guild Wars exclusive Russian distributor, Buka Entertainment have high hopes that the complete localisation of the Guild Wars campaigns will encourage even more players to experience the world of Guild Wars and that Russian Guilds will take their true place in the PvP hall of fame.

"For the first time, Russian players will no longer be restricted by Russian language only servers. Now they will be able to join players from all over the globe", stated Alexander Mikhailov, Buka Entertainment C.E.O. "With full localisation and the unique international districts, the language barrier will no longer prohibit a players immersion and we’ll soon see Russian Guilds realising their full potential within the international gaming arena."
