NCsoft will show off its top line up of upcoming and existing titles at the upcoming PAX event, it announced today.

Unreleased games, Aion and Guild Wars 2, will each have their own booths, as will long-standing superhero MMO, City of Heroes.

The Aion area will be packed with 20 gaming stations, featuring the latest version of the game, 1.5, which has not yet been seen here in the west. This version includes several improvements to the one we saw on test servers, such as added facial customisation options, new zones, quests and skills. Associate Producer Lani Blazier and NCsoft's Brian Knox will also be present for interviews. See our series of hands-on previews to read more about this highly-anticipated game, and check out our interview with Lani Blazier for more about the development of Aion.

Following the release of the Guild Wars 2 trailer, NCsoft is planning a strong presence for the game at PAX. The Art of Guild Wars 2, a hardback book containing 128 pages of art from the game, will be given away in a draw at the booth, filled with signatures of the artists. There will also be a Q&A with the GW Live team, and a discussion about the upcoming novel, The Fall of Ascalon.

The City of Heroes booth will contain gaming stations with CoH Issue 16, the latest unreleased update for the game. Developers will on hand to talk about the game, new features including the Mission Architect system, and the future of the game. There will also be giveaways and discussion panels, along with a PAX-exclusive Costume Power code.
