'Guild Wars 2' Steam Launch Delayed Until Further Notice

by Rainier on Nov. 2, 2020 @ 12:00 a.m. PST

While Guild Wars 2 adds a persistent world, it retains the unique characteristics of the original game, including a strong narrative, extensive instanced game play, an anti-grind design philosophy, and strong support for competitive play.

Guild Wars 2 redefines massively multiplayer online roleplaying games with visceral, action-oriented combat; a gorgeous, living world full of constantly evolving dynamic events; customizable personal storylines that are unique to each player; and most importantly, a shared online world where players work together as allies instead of as rivals — all with no monthly subscription fee.

Tyria comes alive with thousands of stories that change based on the actions of players like you. You never know what you'll discover each time you play!

Experience Guild Wars 2's high-impact, fast-paced combat. Attack on the move, dodge and roll away from enemy blows, and team up with other players to dominate the battlefield!

Tyria is irrevocably shaped by its past, and you play a crucial role in its future. Create a unique character, decide how their story evolves, and uncover new revelations, questions, and truths with every choice you make.

Competitive play in Guild Wars 2 is easy to learn but offers challenges for new players and hardcore PvPers alike. Whether you decide to jump into quick, furious matches between small groups of players in organized PvP or join hundreds of other players in the grand battles of World vs. World, PvP is where you'll find the ultimate challenge!

Back in August, ArenaNet revealed that Guild Wars 2, its two expansions Heart of Thorns and Path of Fire, and the entirety of the game’s Living World content – including The Icebrood Saga – would become available on Steam in early November, but that plan has now changed.

"We’ve made the decision to put the Guild Wars 2 Steam release on hold for the time being. Our number one priority right now is crafting Guild Wars 2: End of Dragons with the high quality you expect and deserve. Additionally, we’re full speed ahead on delivering an epic climax to The Icebrood Saga that lives up to (and we hope exceeds) previous Living World finales."
