NCsoft and ArenaNet have confirmed that Guild Wars 2 has already sold 1 million copies both for pre-order at retail and through the official website. Those that pre-purchased ahead of time were able to start playing the game three days early during the HeadStart weekend.
“This is the culmination of a 5-year journey and to be greeted by this level of enthusiasm by our fans is truly amazing,” said Mike O’Brien, president and co-founder of ArenaNet. “But really our work is just beginning. Now our focus is shifting to building on this living world we’ve delivered, continuously refining our game and improving services to ensure our players have the best possible experience.”
The HeadStart weekend maxed out at 400,000 simultaneous players. Guild Wars 2 is available for purchase at buy.guildwars2.com.
