MCV Staff 16th January 2013 Business News

ArenaNet has announced its sub-free MMO Guild Wars 2 has sold over 3m copies, with detailed plans for expanding the game in 2013 revealed by the developer as well.

Game director Colin Johanson shared the figure in the opening of a lengthy blog post on the game’s official website.

Guild Wars 2 launched late last August, so it took the title less than five months to hit the impressive sales mark.

ArenaNet also revealed several details on expanding the title this year, including new content for guilds, expanded features in world vs. world and player vs. player experiences, online leaderboards, better security, and more.

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
