Guild Wars 3 is set to come and this time not just on PC. Everything you need to know about the release, the content and more you will find out here.

NCSoft and ArenaNet have not yet released much information about Guild Wars 3. However, we summarize all the known information here.

Update: We updated the following article on 03.09.2026 with new information about combat, classes, movement, and group sizes.

Key Information at a Glance:

  • Guild Wars 3 is currently in active development and does not yet have a release date, but there is a window in which the first beta is supposed to start: Fall 2027
  • For the first time, the series will step away from its PC exclusivity, as the MMORPG will also be released for PS5. All Xbox fans will probably be left out and will not be considered.
  • The developers remain true to the monetization of the predecessors. The MMORPG is expected to forgo battle passes and subscriptions and will monetize through sales and the in-game shop.
  • The combat system and movement are supposed to be smoother and more modern.
  • The story is set 1,200 years before Guild Wars 1 to usher in a new era and highlight parts of the story that could not be addressed in the two sequels.
