Official announcement of Guild Wars 3 took place

In the midst of summer gaming festivals, ArenaNet also decided to surprise the public and announced the upcoming release of the long-awaited third part of the popular MMORPG. The game is being created on the latest version of Unreal Engine, and its action will unfold on the continent of Orr, where guilds will share power and heroes will perform feats. The main focus of the project, according to its authors, is on dynamic battles and understandable character progression methods. Let's tell you more about what is known at the moment.

The continent of Orr is a wild land barely touched by civilization, but it is this territory that will open a new era of exploration of the fairy-tale universe. The game's plot will take us more than a thousand years into the past relative to the first GW. But even in that ancient era, serious passions boiled: the hero controlled by the gamer will have to join the Vaelwarden faction, which stands protecting the people living outside the city walls, and the spirits embodying the forces of nature. Players are promised an open world — you will be able to move in any direction, and even climb walls, like in Assassin's Creed. An important role in the wanderings will be given to the mount — it is also the Vael spirit, or the Seeker.

It is also known that the ArenaNet team is developing the game for two platforms at once — for PC and PlayStation 5 consoles, and the game at launch will support both keyboard and mouse, and a gamepad. This means that the combat system will remind of Action-RPG gameplay, but at the same time, role-playing builds are created with an eye on classic MMORPG. More information about the lands of Orr, the capital city of Araha and the six gods controlling the fairy-tale world, the developers promise to provide in the coming months.
