All Races Playable in Next Guild Wars 2 Beta

ArenaNet has revealed that the Asura and Sylvari races will be playable in the next and final round of weekend beta testing for Guild Wars 2. Previously only the other three races, the Norn, Charr and Humans, were playable.

This updated beta test will run between July 20 and 22 and is accessible if you've pre-ordered ArenaNet's MMO. Guild Wars 2 is currently scheduled to launch on August 28. Check out screens of the Asura and Sylvari below.

We've played in the previous beta tests, and you can find plenty of video on the Guild Wars 2 object, and tons of information in IGN's Wiki.
