No title has been announced so far. It appears from the US Patent &amp; Trademark Office that NCSoft have trademarked the name "Guild Wars Nightfall". The only other campaign-related marks they have registered are "Guild Wars Prophecies" and "Guild Wars Factions". While not proof, this is a strong indication of the name for a future campaign.
