ArenaNet announces Guild Wars 3, the third installment in the Guild Wars MMORPG franchise, with plans to release for PC and PlayStation 5. Multiple outlets report that this is the first time a game from the long-running franchise is launching on consoles, expanding beyond its prior platform focus. The announcements are made during Summer Game Fest from the studio’s Bellevue, Washington location, with the PR materials dated early June 2026. The coverage consistently describes ArenaNet as a critically acclaimed development studio and frames Guild Wars 3 as a “modern evolution” of the MMORPG formula. While the provided excerpts do not include gameplay details, release date specifics, or additional features beyond the platforms and the console debut, they uniformly emphasize the same core points: the game’s third-entry status within the Guild Wars series, ArenaNet’s role as the developer, and the targeted platforms of PC and PlayStation 5. Overall, the reports present a platform expansion announcement rather than a full product reveal, with the main shared information being the announcement timing and the new availability for console players.
