MeinMMO Editor-in-Chief Leya and MeinMMO Editor Jasmin were able to take a look at the first gameplay from an early version of Guild Wars 3. The material shown impressed both of them so much that they believe in a true miracle for the MMORPG sector.
The western MMORPG market has been dominated for many years by the same old heavyweights such as World of Warcraft or Final Fantasy 14. This has led to a certain stagnation, as the MMORPG genre has long lacked a true novelty.
Among the biggest pain points are the movement and combat systems. After all these years, they haven’t received any noticeable overhaul and still feel clunky. For today’s standards, that’s simply not enough.
Therefore, many western players are pinning their hopes on Guild Wars 3. The developers have made it their mission in the past with each new title to address the current issues of the genre. Our MMORPG expert Karsten has already estimated that Guild Wars 3 will especially pursue the aspect of “MMO Lites,” which offers a hub world and a smaller number of players.
Everything revolves around the best genre in the world on the YouTube channel of MeinMMO. Recently, a video went live again, in which we take another look at everything we know about Guild Wars 3:
In a first gameplay presentation, I was able to convince myself along with MeinMMO Editor-in-Chief Leya of the new approaches of the MMORPG. Game Director Colin Johanson and Lead Gameplay Designer Anthony Ordon guided us through the presentation at gamescom 2026.
The focus was on the combat and movement systems. The material shown impressed us so much within 30 minutes that we are confident that Guild Wars 3 will revolutionize the genre and fulfill its promises.
