Guild Wars 3 announced for PC and PlayStation 5

ArenaNet revealed that it’s working on Guild Wars 3, the latest installment in the venerated MMORPG franchise. While it didn’t give a release date, it plans to launch a beta test for the game in fall 2027. The game is planned for launch on PC, Steam and PlayStation 5, marking the debut of Guild Wars on consoles. According to the developers, the third game takes place over a millennium before the original and is set in the region of Orr, on a magical, untamed frontier. The player character is a Vaelwarden, a kind of adventurer that protects Orr and the nature spirits there. They’re accompanied by a Seeker, one such spirit who is both a companion and a mount for traversing the open world. The game’s combat system has been designed to work on both keyboards and controllers, with an emphasis on movement modes and momentum, says ArenaNet. Players can “harness their speed and turn it into bigger damage and impact when fighting their foes” according to the official description. ArenaNet will reveal more information about the game later this year and in 2027. Colin Johanson, Guild Wars 3’s game director, said in a statement, “Guild Wars 3 is a new era not just for ArenaNet and Guild Wars, but also for MMORPGs as a whole. The MMORPG genre has millions of players worldwide eager for new, modern experiences, and the opportunity to harness that excitement is immense. Our approach with Guild Wars 3 is to push MMORPGs forward, to create an online game world that feels believable, rewarding, responsive, and innovative while at the same time respecting players’ time and providing a positive, supportive space to build community and enjoy new stories in our universe.” The post Guild Wars 3 announced for PC and PlayStation 5 appeared first on GamesBeat.
