Commissar SFLUFAN Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 NCSoft Confirms Guild Wars 3 Is In Development KOTAKU.COM Longtime Guild Wars 2 fans had a mixed reaction to the prospect of a third MMO Quote It’s been over a decade since ArenaNet’s fantasy MMO Guild Wars 2 launched. In the years since its 2021 PC debut, the team has released several expansions and updates for it, with the latest being 2023’s Secrets of the Obscure. With two more expansions still in the works set to launch this year and in 2025, respectively, Guild Wars 2 players aren’t hurting for new content. That’s why the news that ArenaNet is working on a proper third game in the series came as such a shock. News of this comes from an NCSoft shareholder meeting (as reported by Korean outlet Inven and translated by Reddit user Sydius), in which the publisher’s co-CEO Park Byung-moo casually name-dropped Guild Wars 3 while discussing the franchise. He confirmed the game is in development, but didn’t offer any other information beyond that. The immediate response from the community has been mixed. A new game is typically an exciting prospect, but in the era of live service games that receive periodic updates, a sequel can sometimes mean the loss of years of investment as the community moves on to the next big thing.

Bacon Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I tried getting into GW2 but it just didn't click. I remember playing a wood dude and being lost after finishing the quests for the wood dude area. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenVectron Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I really liked GW2 when it launched. Still one of the more fun MMOs for playing solo and just running around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbob42 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I still play and really enjoy GW2, it has the best open world content of any MMO and it's not even close. That said, I'd be very down for a Guild Wars 3. They were clearly trying to move on to something new as GW2 was dying down, it internally failed, and they sort of had to reinvigorate themselves to work on more expansions. They've been doing real good but I imagine you really need a new project to keep the passion up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link200 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I recall GW2 was pretty much just a grind for cosmetic upgrades. Kind of took the fun out of it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenVectron Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 One of my strongest memories of playing GW2 was with D1P (specifically chatting with Wade at the time as I was making food for the clan) and getting a call that my aunt had been diagnosed with Creutzfeldt-Jakob. Weird how that stands out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxEvil AshxX Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 I remember buying GW2 day-one because I really like the first GW, even though it wasn't really open world and kinda sucked. I played it for a hot minute but I'm pretty sure I fell off before the first expansion even released. I don't even think I would recognize it now. I'd jump onto a GW3.
