As part of the Summer Game Fest showcase, developer ArenaNet officially revealed the next entry in its long-running MMORPG series with Guild Wars 3. It’ll be an action-style RPG with a focus on traversal and momentum, which was teased in the reveal trailer.
The trailer opens with the player character riding a majestic wolf-like mount and scaling up cliffs on foot. It also teased its world, which looks expansive, along with a party of four meeting atop a mountain top. You can watch it below.
It’s been 14 years since the launch of Guild Wars 2, but is still going strong with updates and new content, such as the Visions of Eternity expansion that came out in 2025. Not much else is known about Guild Wars 3 at the moment, but you can wishlist it for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam; it’s worth noting that this is the first time the series will be on consoles. You can sign up for updates at GuildWars3.com, and a beta is planned for Fall 2027. Check out all the announcements coming out of Summer Game Fest 2026.
