Guild Wars 2 has officially announced collab for armor-lookalike clothing line

Earlier this week, we ran a Leaderboard poll about whether you’d wear gaming apparel – not just stuff with logos, but stuff that actually looked like armor from the MMOs you play. It was inspired wholly by Guild Wars 2, whose studio ArenaNet had teased a collab with Wild Bangarang that appeared to show in-game armor skinned onto real-life dresses. And now that promotion has officially been announced – and it’s more than just dresses and armor:

“Celebrated games developer ArenaNet and active clothing retailer Wild Bangarang are pleased to announce a new partnership to produce and distribute licensed Guild Wars 2 clothing to fans across Europe, North America and Australia. The partnership begins with a new clothing line consisting of leggings and dresses featuring iconic Guild Wars 2 designs based on the fantasy franchise’s different races, armour and art. Prices start at £35 / €38.90 and all products will be available to order from Friday, 26th July via wildbangarang.com.”

According to the poll we ran, our readers weren’t opposed to the idea: 15% said they were all in, 23% said they’d prefer other gaming-branded wearables, 28% wanted to see more, and 19% said they weren’t into branded stuff at all.
