The wait is over. ArenaNet has officially unveiled Guild Wars 3 at Summer Game Fest, marking the first brand-new entry in the beloved MMORPG franchise since 2012.
Set to launch on PC, Steam, and PlayStation 5, Guild Wars 3 will also make franchise history as the first Guild Wars title to arrive on home consoles. Players can look forward to getting hands-on with the game during its first beta test in fall 2027.
Taking place more than a thousand years before the original Guild Wars, the new adventure heads to Orr, a wild and magical frontier teeming with powerful nature spirits known as Vael spirits. Players will step into the role of a Vaelwarden, exploring the lush wilderness, forging bonds with mystical beings, and navigating conflicts between rival guilds seeking to shape Orr’s future.
One of the standout additions is the Seeker, a spirit companion that doubles as a mount and serves as a player’s connection to the magical world around them.
ArenaNet is also aiming to modernize the MMORPG formula. Guild Wars 3 features a movement-focused combat system designed from the ground up for both controllers.
