Comic Con Speculation


Arenanet may have skipped E3, but be ready for them to take Comic Con by storm! I don't honestly see them releasing anything huge like a release date or even pre-order details, however maybe they'll decide to tell us a bit more about their much anticipated beta.

It is confirmed that they are having a demo with the engineer available for play, though! If you visit their site and look at their schedule here, you'll see this confirmation:
San Diego Comic- Con (July 21-24) How could we miss the granddaddy of all pop-cultural conventions? We’ll send an elite team of artists and devs down to the San Diego Convention Center to meet fans and do signings. Drop by the NCsoft booth to play Guild Wars 2 and try your hand at the engineer!
Other than the engineer, I hope for a playable Asura demo as well! We're long overdo for Asura or Sylvari week, and since we have little word on the Sylvari redesign, I would think Asura is next.

Another possibility is the 8th and final profession reveal, but I would expect that at PAX on Arenanet's home turf in Seattle, Washington. Their schedule says to expect "big surprises" at PAX, so that could very well be the 8th profession, which most consider to be similar to the Mesmer of the original Guild Wars.
