Leading online games publisher NCsoft Europe has joined forces with Future, the leading publisher of games magazines and websites, for an exclusive cover disc promotion, in an attempt to simultaneously offer trial versions of all three of its Guild Wars online role-playing titles, with a different trial appearing on each of Future's three leading PC games magazines.

Each of the 14 day trials will give gamers the chance to dive into the phenomenally popular world of Guild Wars for themselves, becoming embroiled in fantastical adventures, daring treasure hunts and fiercely competitive pvp combat.

"We're delighted to be working with Future Publishing on such an amazing promotional campaign," said David Blundell, NCsoft European PR Manager. "Each of the Guild Wars games offers a unique and thrilling experience for the player. By offering all three trials at the same time we're giving gamers the perfect opportunity to sample everything the Guild Wars series has to show. And with Guild Wars: Eye of the North?, the eagerly anticipated official expansion pack, available this Autumn, there's never been a better time to start playing this amazing online role-playing game."

The first of the three trials, complete with activation codes, will start with Guild Wars Nightfall on the new issue of PC Zone, on 24th May, while Prophecies and Factions will appear on the new issues of PC Gamer and PC Format, both out 7th June.

Guild Wars Prophecies has two subsequent sequel campaigns, Factions and Nightfall, quickly establishing the game as one of the most successful online role-playing games of all times. Each of the Guild Wars campaigns is a separate game in itself, with its own storyline, characters, objectives and player abilities and all boast a completely free-to-play subscription model.

And as nothing in this world is perfect, Guild Wars trials are limited to 14 days and 10 hours play time per day, which ever expires first. Trials can be used once per campaign on the same account and are not for individual sale. Remember, the first of the three trials, will start with Guild Wars Nightfall on 24th May, in the new issue of PC Zone.
