Show to be featured on DVD in Guild Wars Nightfall Collector’s Edition

VOOM’s GAMEPLAY HD, the high-definition channel leading the next generation of television for gamers, announced today that it will premiere The Making of Guild Wars Nightfall™, a new documentary that takes fans behind the scenes for an exclusive, in-depth look at the creation of the newest Guild Wars® campaign from ArenaNet® and NCsoft®, on October 27th, the day of the new game’s release. In conjunction with the network’s premiere, the documentary will also be included on DVD with the Collector’s Edition version of the game, a first for the massively popular online game franchise. GAMEPLAY HD is part of VOOM HD Networks, the largest and most diverse suite of high-definition channels nationwide and currently available nationally on DISH Networks.

“The Making of Guild Wars Nightfall takes fans deep into the game’s creative process in a way that only GAMEPLAY HD programming can,” said Mark DeAngelis, VP of Programming at VOOM HD Networks. “We’re extremely excited to bring Guild Wars fans this first exclusive look on the day the game ships, both on our network and on the DVD included with the Collector’s Edition.”

Shot in true high-definition as part of the premiere GAMEPLAY HD Documentary Series, the behind the scenes film reveals the hard work, passion, and intensity of the game’s designers as they create Guild Wars Nightfall. Go inside the game with the creators themselves to see for the first time ever the magic and excitement of this newest adventure in the Guild Wars universe —from the original concept art to the story making, design, and execution of Guild Wars Nightfall.

Guild Wars Nightfall is the third game in the award-winning and critically-acclaimed Guild Wars franchise. The global online role-playing game was an instant bestseller worldwide upon the first Guild Wars release in April 2005, and the second title Guild Wars Factions was the number one game in both North America and Europe earlier this year. Guild Wars Nightfall continues the tradition of inviting players to immerse themselves in an epic storyline centered in a vibrant fantasy setting.

The Making of Guild Wars Nightfall special will premiere October 27th at 10 PM EST.
