Well, I certainly did not see this one coming - and I'm pretty certain my neighbours could hear my excitement as well for this!

ArenaNet has announced "Guild Wars Reforged", which is not a remaster, but is a great update to the game, both in terms of game changes, as well as how the game is available for purchase.

So, what can we expect from this update?

  • Fixed bloom
  • Improved anti-aliasing
  • Improved UI handling on high resolution screens
  • Steam Deck Verified
  • Controller support
  • Fixes to the game
  • Improved quest tracking
  • New branding for the game
  • If you own any campaign, you'll unlock all of them for free (Eye of the North, as an expansion, still needs to be bought seperately)
  • A new entry point: a single purchase pack that includes all 3 campaigns for 19.99 USD (no EUR price known yet).
  • But, the most important, going forward, a team of developers is working on Guild Wars again!

This is by all means not a huge remaster or a complete rework of the game, but it is major enough to warrant trailers, rebranding and will bring a lot of new (and returning) players back to Guild Wars, hopefully the start of a new era for Guild Wars!

About the Author

Hello, I'm Iaerah (formerly known as Kevin - which is my real name), the Guild Wars Legacy admin.

The reason why I switched my name to Iaerah is mainly because Kevin is so generic, and if I ever want an NPC named after me in game, I'll need a more creative name ;)

Joking aside, Iaerah is also my main in Guild Wars 2 (I know, I know, shoot me - but I enjoy both games. Just don't see GW2 as the sequel to GW1).

I'm not only the Guild Wars Legacy administrator but also the founder of it, together with some other great people like Richey (who runs the Guild Wars: A New Hope Facebook group) and Max Borken. I'm quite easy to contact and generally spoken I reply quite quickly, but I have a tendency to read my notifications and forgetting to respond. If that happens, feel free to send me a reminder.

You can contact me using the contact form on this site, you can send me a PM here or you can mail me on my Guild Wars Legacy email (hint: it's my real name @guildwarslegacy.com) and I'll get back to you as soon as I can (if I don't forget ;)).

In game, you can contact me on one of my two main accounts: my mains are either Leanna Goldwing or Inquisitor Karinda.

In general, don't be afraid to contact me!

Do you have an idea to improve Guild Wars Legacy, no matter how small it might be? Feel free to let me know!
