Guild Wars 3 Is Coming to Consoles, So Now Your PlayStation Can Have a Backlog Too

ArenaNet announced Guild Wars 3 at Summer Game Fest, a proper new entry in the long running MMO series, and for the first time Guild Wars is coming to consoles, landing on PS5 alongside PC. For a franchise whose devoted players have spent years asking what comes next, this is the answer, finally, with an actual number on it.

Bringing an MMO to console is a smart, overdue move, the genre has finally accepted that a controller and a couch are a market and not a compromise. The catch is that Guild Wars 2 is still beloved and very much alive, so Guild Wars 3 has to justify splitting a loyal community rather than just continuing to feed the game they already love. New numbers are exciting. They are also risky when the old number still works fine.

And the timeline is pure MMO. You can wishlist now, but the beta does not even begin until Fall 2027. So the actual launch sits somewhere out past the horizon, which for an MMO means you will be reading patch notes for this thing well into the 2030s.
