Guild Wars 2 is having a second public beta weekend, allowing PC gamers to get another stab at the MMORPG<\/a> before its release.<\/p>\n

Starting on Friday 8 June at 21:00 CEST (20:00 BST) until Monday 11 June at 08:59 CEST (07:59 BST), eager gamers can once again jump back into Tyria for the second time since the first beta weekend that took place in late April.<\/p>\n

Of course, there\u2019s a catch if you want to participate. You need to have pre-purchased any edition of Guild Wars 2<\/a>, and redeem the pre-purchase code which will be sent from NCsoft regarding additional information about downloading the client and account registration information.<\/p>\n

This will grant access to public beta testing periods and head-start access to the game when it finally launches. In addition to access to the Beta Weekend Events, players will receive three-day Headstart Access prior to launch, and the exclusive Hero\u2019s Band in-game item.<\/p>\n

There is currently no firm release date for Guild Wars 2, as beta testing will help get the title polished up for launch.<\/p>\n

MyGaming’s Hugo Brand got some hands-on time with the game during the previous Beta weekend. Check out his impressions<\/a>.<\/p>\n
