The Future of the Guild Wars Franchise: Our Commitment to Tyria

Yesterday was a huge day for ArenaNet® and our community! We revealed that we are developing Guild Wars 3™ at Summer Game Fest with an announcement trailer. We also published an informative blog covering some exciting new sales both in the game and outside of it to celebrate our big reveal.

Today, we invite you to hear directly from Studio Head Colin Johanson, Guild Wars 2® Game Director Josh Davis, and Guild Wars® Reforged Game Director Stephen Clarke-Willson about the future of the Guild Wars franchise:

Colin and Josh will also be hosting a livestream next week on Twitch to continue the conversation about the future of the Guild Wars franchise. Make sure you tune in to watch on Tuesday, June 9 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific Time (UTC-7).

As Josh mentioned in the video, after Guild Wars 2: Visions of Eternity™ wraps up in September, we’re turning our attention to improving the foundations of Guild Wars 2 and we want to make the most of it, with your help!

Starting with our first Hall of Monuments update coming later this year, we’re going to spend nearly a full year going back through each era of Guild Wars 2, making meaningful improvements to the player experience.

Head over to the new feedback forum and share your ideas on what you’d like us to address. We’re excited to shape the future of Guild Wars 2 alongside the community and ensure its continued success for many years to come.

Celebrating the Announcement of Guild Wars 3

Celebrating the Announcement of Guild Wars 3

ArenaNet is developing Guild Wars 3™! It’s an unbelievable feeling to be able to write those words, but it’s true, and we’re finally able to talk about it!

In Guild Wars 3, you’ll explore Orr like you’ve never been able to before. You’ll join the Vaelwardens: a guild sworn to protect the land, the people who live beyond the walls of the towns and cities of Orr, and the nature spirits who call Orr home.

For the first time ever, you can experience the world of Tyria on both PC and PlayStation 5. We’ve built a combat system designed to feel incredible no matter how you play, whether you use a controller or a mouse and keyboard.

We have other exciting things to discuss in this blog today, but for more information on the announcement, head over to our shiny new Guild Wars 3 website. Please wishlist Guild Wars 3 on Steam and the PlayStation Store. And to keep up with the latest news—and for a chance to join the Guild Wars 3 beta in the fall of 2027—sign up for the Guild Wars 3 newsletter.

What’s Next for Guild Wars 2®?

With the Guild Wars 3 announcement, we know the community will undoubtedly be wondering what’s next for Guild Wars 2. And we’re going to tell you in detail…tomorrow! Today, we’re celebrating the first brand-new game announcement for ArenaNet in almost two decades, and that deserves its moment in the spotlight. But rest assured, we’re not done making Guild Wars 2—or Guild Wars® Reforged for that matter—and we’re committing to actively developing all three games at the same time.

Tomorrow, June 6, we’ll be releasing a studio update video, and you’ll hear directly from Studio Head Colin Johanson, Guild Wars 2 Game Director Josh Davis, and Guild Wars® Reforged Game Director Stephen Clarke-Willson as they discuss the future of the Guild Wars franchise. Look out for that video here on our blog and on our YouTube channel tomorrow at 09:00 a.m. Pacific Time (UTC-7).

Then, next week, on Tuesday, June 9 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific Time (UTC-7), join us for a livestream where Colin and Josh will continue the conversation. It’s an incredible time to be a Guild Wars fan, and we can’t wait to show you what we have planned.
