Summary
Fall 2027 is the target for a Guild Wars 3 beta on PC and PlayStation 5 after ArenaNet formally revealed the MMO at Summer Game Fest 2026, with a full release planned in 2028.
ArenaNet says the project is meant to break a genre it sees as stagnant, pitching fluid, momentum-driven movement and combat inspired by single-player action RPGs.
Colin Johanson said the studio is again building around player frustrations, following earlier confirmation that Guild Wars 3 will be sold as a premium purchase without a subscription or battle pass.
The reveal lands as Western AAA MMO development remains thin, with Riot's Runeterra project still elusive and Amazon having canceled its Lord of the Rings MMO.
