Next up in the world of Guild Wars is Campaign 3. Due to their rapid release schedule, there are two teams working at Arena.net on the next two Campaigns so that new Campaigns can be released as quickly as possible while still maintaining a high level of content (i.e. one team has been working on Campaign 3 for the last 3 or 4 months, and the other team just started on Campaign 4, so that each Campaign has about a year of development.). Sadly, they couldn't give us a name or many concrete details on the upcoming campaign; all we really know is that campaign 3 has a North African setting, with sweeping African plains and Egyptian-esque temples. In a short trailer, we saw monsters that resemble African animals such as elephants and hippopotami, but with a fantasy twist. We also saw concept art for some new player classes, but no information about them other than the art. One of them looks like a heavy melee class, and the other has a tribal caster feel. We also got to see the new dances added in Guild Wars Factions. Two shadow NPCs play backup dancer to your character in a series of moves, including the wave and a puppet like segment.
