Arenanet has just announced their latest expansion for Guild Wars. The name Nightfall shouldn't be a big surprise to most Guild Wars players, though the inclusion of the two new classes is very interesting.

The Dervish is described as a "scythe-wielding holy warrior", in other words one bad-ass monk! The second class will be the Paragon which is a "guardian angel of the Elonian people", no prizes for guessing what race will be heavily featured in the new expansion then.

Guild Wars account holders will be able to try out the new expansion's professions in a PVP Beta event weekend starting on, July 28th through to July 30th.
