In a recent NcSoft Shareholder meeting, (as spotted by Korean outlet Inven), CEO Park Byung-moo stated that Guild Wars 3, the third entry into the Guild Wars MMORPG series, is currently in development. Additional details were not announced. As the title has been confirmed but not announced, its safe to say it will be a while before it is released. In 2022, developer ArenaNet posted a job ad for an unannounced triple-A game in pre-production, based on an ‘established fantasy online IP’. The latest entry, Guild Wars 2, first launched on August 28, 2012, and is available now on Steam.Details for the title via the job ad:We have a bold vision for breaking free of certain vicious cycles inherent to content creation. Our studio strives to build both breathtaking narratives and a deeply interactive world. In this role, you will be building the pillars of our multiplayer storytelling experience, such as interactions, conversations, scenes, dynamic spawning, and emergent objectives.
Guild War 2’s details via Steam.
Guild Wars 2’s open world is all about discovery and exploration. Check your content guide for suggestions when you set out on your adventures, consult your compass to find interesting landmarks…or just pick your favorite direction to travel in and let adventure find you. Tyria is full of characters with their own stories and goals, and you’ll be rewarded for helping them out—or thwarting their plans—by completing renown hearts and dynamic events. Read our new player guide for more tips!
When you meet other players in the open world, you don’t need to join their party to lend a helping hand, investigate a secret jumping puzzle, or team up against a deadly world boss. Don’t grind; play the way you want to play! Whether you’re reviving defeated players, rescuing soldiers from a Risen onslaught, or gathering herbs, you’ll earn experience points.
Arm your character with an arsenal of new weapons as you play. Every profession wields them differently, and each type has its own playstyle, which you can refine and customize by unlocking and equipping hundreds of skills and traits. If you want to jump straight into structured PvP, go for it—every player competes at the same level, with access to the max-level gear and build options you need to make your mark.
If you love fashion, express yourself with the perfect character design! When you equip new weapons and armor, you’ll unlock their skins in your wardrobe. Make them truly yours with thousands of possible combinations and a massive selection of collectible dyes.

You’ll also be able to select the revenant profession at character creation and channel legendary heroes and villains from Tyria’s history.
