You may remember back during our coverage of <a href="http://massively.com/tag/pax-08">PAX 08</a> last year when we <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/08/31/guild-wars-2-lore-to-be-told-in-book-series/">reported on ArenaNet's announcement </a>of a <a href="http://www.guildwars.com"><em>Guild Wars</em></a> book trilogy, set up to explain the lore between <em>Guild Wars 1</em> and <em>Guild Wars 2</em>. Recently, <a href="http://www.killtenrats.com/author/ravious/">Ravious at Kill Ten Rats</a> wrote <a href="http://www.killtenrats.com/2009/06/29/guild-wars-book-titles/">a great post</a> compiling the information we have now, combined with some brand new info on what looks to be the first novel in that trilogy.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.forbeck.com/2009/06/24/guild-wars-novel-away/"><em>Guild Wars: Fall of Ascalon</em> by Matt Forbeck</a> is set to release on or around February 23, 2010. What's even more interesting is some <a href="http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/showpost.php?p=4715601&amp;postcount=50">speculation from a <em>GW</em> fan</a> concerning what may be the <a href="http://www.forbeck.com/2009/06/24/guild-wars-novel-away/#comment-46748">second book</a>, possibly being penned by <a href="http://jrobertking.com/publications-list/">J. Robert King</a>, also for release in 2010. Of course this begs the question of timeline. Are these three books all being written at the same time, to be released around the same time, or will they be written and released well into 2011? As far as we know, <em>Guild Wars 2</em> won't come out until these books have all been released, so with the first book coming out in February of next year, we probably won't hear anything new about <em>Guild Wars 2</em> until then, at least.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/07/01/first-guild-wars-trilogy-novel-titled-and-given-unofficial-relea/">First Guild Wars trilogy novel titled and given unofficial release date</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Wed, 01 Jul 2009 10:00:00 EST.
