The Secret World: Coming to PC 7/3/2012

In a world where entire governments are mere puppets for the words and actions of secret societies, the pursuit for power is an ever-present struggle. Three secret societies have risen and are united in their fight against evil forces, but remain divided in their quest for domination. The Illuminati, the Dragon and the Templars are calling for your skills, but be careful — whichever society you join will have a profound effect on your game.

The Secret World is a massively multiplayer online game in a modern-day setting and offers an unprecedented amount of freedom for character progression. The world in which you live features three secret societies that are united in their war against darkness, but remain divided in their pursuit for power. Choose to join either the Illuminati, the Dragon or the Templars and fight with or against other players for world domination. Engage in brutal player vs. player combat, enter persistent war zones that feature large-scale battles with hundreds of other players and fight to take control of legendary locations, including Stonehenge, El Dorado and Shambala. Enjoy free character progression with no classes or levels, allowing you to be whoever you want to be and play however you want to play. Arm yourself with hundreds of weapons and powers, including pistols, black magic, assault rifles, fireballs, katanas, explosives and more. Travel around the world to explore bustling cities like London, Seoul and New York and exotic locations such as Egypt, Transylvania and more. Immerse yourself in the story-driven gameplay that allows you to explore the myths, legends and conspiracy theories of the real world.

Guild Wars 2: Coming to PC 8/28/2012

For generations, war and chaos raged across the land of Tyria. Five great races competed and warred against each other, struggling to tip the balance of power in their favor. Then the dragons woke. The all-powerful beasts stirred from their millennial sleep under earth and sea. With their magical breath the dragons spread destruction and created legions of twisted slaves. A deathless dragon named Zhaitan raised the sunken nation of Orr, triggering earthquakes and tidal waves that destroyed entire cities across the Sea of Sorrows. Zhaitan's undead armies surged from the sea, hungry for the destruction of the five races of Tyria: the charr, a ferocious race of feline warriors; the asura, magical inventors of small size and great intellect; the norn, towering shapeshifters from the frigid northern lands; the sylvari, a mysterious young race of visionary plant folk; and the humans, an embattled but resilient people. Now heroes from the five races must set aside ancient rivalries and stand together against their common enemies. Magic, technology, and cold steel will determine the ultimate fate of the world.
