Guild Wars 2

I’ve played Guild Wars 2 a lot in the past; but quit after finishing HoT a few times in early November last year. I see a lot of posts on this forum about LS3 and a possible second expansion, but quite frankly, I don’t see the evidence that such things will ever happen at all.

Why this radio silence on story content, anyway? I thought it was either regular LS, or a long wait for an expansion – but Arenanet at least announced HoT. Did I miss an announcement or something? Or are they just done with GW2? I don’t blame them if they are. Guild Wars 1’s good years lasted from 2005 to 2009ish too, GW2 is about the same age at this point.

Both the next expansion and LS3 are mentioned here: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/state-of-the-game-update-q1-2016/

And have also been mentioned in various other places.

That was in January. 4 months ago. I wonder how much of that information is still accurate.

This is somewhat more recent and mentions both the next season and the next expansion: https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/48zlyd/im_mike_obrien_here_with_gw2_dev_team_ama/

Season 3 will come out sometime this Summer. It’s likely to feature a new map (hopefully more than one) and will segue us into the next expansion.

ANet has stated that a large chunk of their team is actively working on expansion 2 at this time. We have no idea how far along they are, but if I were to make a (mostly uninformed) guess, it won’t be out for another ~16-18 months.

My plan is to play S3, then take a break from the game until the next expansion.

Looks good. I’m looking forward to it!

If they have learned anything from the LS2 to first expansion time gap, than that they should avoid it.

I think the reason, why LS3 is coming so late is, that ANet wants to have some solid amount of the next expansion finished and use the LS itself to build up hype to release the expansion shortly after.
