The sequel to ArenaNet's popular MMO Guild Wars won't launch until 2010 at the earliest, according to an NCsoft earnings release obtained by VE3D.

According to the document, Guild Wars 2 is now slated for a 2010 or 2011 release. The MMO sequel was announced in March of 2007, and was originally expected to enter beta testing in 2008.

NCSoft's newest MMO, Aion: Tower of Eternity, has also been pushed back to a fourth quarter release in the United States. The NCsoft Seoul-developed title was released in Korea last November.

While NCsoft's 2008 revenue of $248.6 million represents a 5% year-over-year increase, the company's profits plummeted 40% to $20 million due to the late release of Aion.
