Is Guild Wars 3 in development at ArenaNet, developer of Guild Wars 2? The studio definitely has an “unannounced project” in the pipeline based on an “established fantasy online IP,” and it appears to be a new MMORPG using Unreal Engine 5.
Guild Wars 2: End of Dragons, released in February 2022, was very well received, after which ArenaNet confirmed that it was still preparing an MMO game for release on Steam in late 2022, and that a fourth expansion is in development. , but it will take “Too long to develop”.
However, a new job listing (revealed by Top Tier List) for the new project suggests that more than one expansion is in development at the Guild Wars studio. It appears to be based on Unreal Engine 5, so this project is unlikely to be an expansion for Guild Wars 2.
Although there is no direct evidence that this is Guild Wars 3, it is based on “set a fantastic ip address online– so if ArenaNet isn’t making a game based on someone else’s MMO IP, it goes without saying that it’s a new Guild Wars game.
The listing suggests that the project is part of an evolution of the “online role-playing game” genre and will focus on “multiplayer narrative” such as “interactions, conversations, cutscenes, dynamic appearances, and pop-up objectives.” The description also requires that the candidate be “dedicated to enhancing the humanity of virtual interaction.”
Whatever happens, it’s likely that the next Guild Wars 2 expansion will be released first, so Guild Wars 3, or whatever in this online fantasy RPG project, is probably coming in a few years, even though this is “a well funded game project in the works”.
