Is Guild Wars 3 in development? The rumor is brewing and the studio is officially communicating on this subject to provide a precise answer on the subject.
Guild Wars is a game name that resonates in the heads of many gamers. For many, the first episode is a monument to adolescent video games, and for others, the second represents a sort of golden age of MMORPGs which now seems very distant. Either way, it's a franchise that warms the hearts of many fans. Could it be that they could have a nice surprise?

Guild Wars 3 on the way? Attention
As an active video game studio, we are still conducting internal exploratory work for possible future titles we would like to create, however we have nothing to confirm at this time. The team's focus is on the development of Guild Wars 2, including the game's upcoming expansion, which we look forward to talking about soon.
Obviously, in the meantime, and this is quite normal, the information that a Guild Wars 3 was in development began to circulate on the internet. We will therefore have to reason with ourselves, because at the moment this is not the case. At least officially. It's always possible that a draft is in the works when ArenaNet speaks of “exploratory work”, but this remains pure speculation for now. Don't be fooled. You might be bitterly disappointed.
A good answer in the future?
Regardless, ArenaNet has made its position clear by emphasizing its continued commitment to the development of Guild Wars 2 and its expansion plans. This move appears to be aimed at tempering expectations while maintaining engagement with the current community of players.
NCSoft's financial situation, influenced by a fluctuating global video game market and poor performance, is fueling speculation about the company's future. Acting President Park Byung-moo spoke of these challenges while promising improvement based on trust.
NCSoft's internal dynamics, including the management of communication around game sales and the direction of the company, have come under criticism. In this context, the announcement of Guild Wars 3 could be an adequate response in the future to calm everyone down. Or not?
