Guild Wars Nightfall Release Date

I'll cut to the chase: October 27. Prerelease Bonus Pack on September 15.

More details:

Guild Wars Nightfall introduces new customizable Heroes who level up, follow player instructions in combat, and use skills and equipment of the player's choosing.

Persistent henchmen, in other words. Catering more to solo PvErs.

And for the ultimate one-on-one challenge, competitive players can choose to enter the new Hero vs. Hero Battles, where they group with a custom team of Heroes and fight against other players from around the world and their customized groups of Heroes.

This is presumably a new definition of "ultimate" I'm not familiar with. Maybe it'll be better than I think but I'm not too hopeful. Fingers crossed for some other PvP options.
