Guild Wars 3 was announced on 5 June 2026 at Summer Game Fest. ArenaNet confirmed that the project is the third mainline entry in the Guild Wars series and the studio’s first new game since 2012.

The announcement gave players several firm facts, but it did not turn the game into a launch-ready product. A full release date has not been announced. The first beta test is scheduled for Fall 2027, and ArenaNet has confirmed PC and PlayStation 5 as platforms.

For GW3Stock buyers, the important point is timing. The buyer list is open now so players who plan to buy GW3 gold can get the launch-day discount code and early stock access when ArenaNet’s final economy rules make live pricing possible.
