The interview is completely in German, and the existing English translations are questionable, but the main theme revolves around ten facts about <em>Guild Wars 2</em> from the mouth of Strain himself. Most of these facts we've heard before in other interviews, but some we haven't.<br /><br />For instance, we get an example of a tremendous world event in the new persistent world. This involves the scenario of a dragon destroying an important town bridge, and it's up to you to defeat the dragon and defend the town NPCs as they rebuild. Items will have more importance in <em>GW2</em> and it's said that there will no longer be characters made strictly for PvP.

<div align="left">German website <a href="http://www.pcgames.de">PCGames.de</a> is <a href="http://www.pcgames.de/aid,648461/Video/Mehrspieler-Shooter/Futuristisch_und_explosiv_-_Der_neue_Huxley-Trailer_bei_uns_im_Stream/">hosting a new trailer</a> (and <a href="http://www.pcgames.de/aid,648462/Rund_40_actiongeladene_Bilder_zu_Webzens_Unreal_Engine_3-Titel_Huxley/?viewcnt=1&amp;image_id=842262#top">several screenshots</a> from said trailer) for <a href="http://www.webzen.com">Webzen</a>'s massively multiplayer online first person shooter (what a mouthful) <a href="http://huxley.webzen.com"><em>Huxley</em>.</a> If you've not heard of the game, all you need to know is that it runs on <a href="http://www.unrealtechnology.com"><em>Unreal Engine 3</em></a>, is developed in Korea, and features large-scale, instanced PvP battles.<br /><br />The trailer doesn't show any gameplay footage (but <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/02/28/new-huxley-gameplay-video-with-analysis/">past ones have</a>). It just shows a really well-orchestrated cinematic sequence. It looks very <a href="http://www.unrealtournament3.com"><em>Unreal</em></a> or <a href="http://www.gearsofwar.com"><em>Gears of War</em>.</a> Unfortunately, all the dialogue is in Korean, so we have no idea whether or not it reveals any interesting story elements.<br /><br />Note that a giant worm-like monster makes an appearance at the end. That might imply that players won't just be fighting each other. <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/huxley"><em>Huxley</em></a> recently <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/06/02/huxley-coming-to-na-and-europe-by-way-of-nhn-usa/">found a Western publisher</a>, so we're looking forward to seeing for ourselves.<br /><br /></div>
