Here’s one I sure as hell didn’t have on my bingo card for SGF tonight: Guild Wars 3 is coming to the PS5.

Just to be clear about this: this marks the first time any Guild Wars game has ever launched on console, so it’s a big deal.

Obviously, this one is quite a long way away – in fact, the first beta will not take place until late next year.

But here’s the general overview so you know what to expect when it eventually launches:

“Guild Wars 3 is set in the Tyrian region of Orr, a vast wilderness frontier imbued with the world’s magic. Nature entities with strong connections to the land called Vael spirits embody the vitality of this lush, verdant landscape. Various guilds are engaged in conflict over how to protect or exploit the bounty beyond civilization’s borders. These multitudinous spirits will vary in size and influence within the ecosystems around them, with the most notable of these being the Seeker. As seen in the trailer, every player’s Seeker will serve as a connection to the spirits of Orr and a mount that will carry them on their journeys through the game’s open world.”

While MMOs are generally the domain of the PC, they have found success on consoles over the years, with Final Fantasy 14 probably being the best example.

Guild Wars 3 should make a compelling addition to the PS5’s library when it eventually launches, then.
