ArenaNet is kicking off PAX South Saturday with “Guild Wars 2: Beyond the Point of No Return,” a special presentation by studio president and co-founder Mike O’Brien and game director Colin Johanson. The event will be livestreamed on Twitch and hosted by Jennifer Hale, a star voiceover actress and Guild Wars 2 fan favorite for her portrayal of Queen Jennah. Also joining the event are popular YouTube and Twitch personalities Bog Otter, AuroraPeachy , Jebro and ChroNickGamer , all of whom will be on hand to cover pre-show activities.
“Guild Wars 2: Beyond the Point of No Return” begins at 10:30 a.m. CST / 8:30 a.m. PST on Saturday, January 24 in the PAX South Main Theater in San Antonio, Texas. The livestream begins with pre-show at 10:00 a.m. CST / 8:00 a.m. PST on the official Guild Wars 2 Twitch channel: www.twitch.tv/guildwars2.

For EU territories, ArenaNet has arranged parallel livestreams in German with Honeyball and GuildNews.de , French with Ashuvidz and Spanish with YukieKoori and GuildWars Update where fans will be able to follow the event in their native language.
Outside of the event, PAX South weekend has big incentives for existing and new players alike to jump in and play Guild Wars 2. The game will be on sale for 75 percent off all weekend.
