With June 5 finally here and SGF almost ready to begin, speculations are running rampant. Now, it appears one game in particular has all but been confirmed, as a new domain registration coupled with a teaser from a couple of days ago more or less solidifies the claim that yes, Guild Wars 3 is almost here.
According to X user lucynavt, a new domain for Guild Wars 3 has been registered, i.e., guildwars3.com. While some may immediately jump to the conclusion that this could be a third party grabbing a domain name before the actual publisher, lucynavt explained that both guildwars2.com, the official website for the latest game in the series, and this new domain share name servers rented out from Amazon Web Services.
This all but confirms the imminent announcement of Guild Wars 3, the long-awaited third mainline game in this long-running MMO series. The previous title, Guild Wars 2, came out 14 years ago, and while it has received numerous updates and expansions over the years and maintained a healthy audience, the game is really starting to show its age, as are many other MMOs from the olden era, despite all the shiny patches.
Its developers previously teased that something would be revealed at SGF a couple of days ago, instantly spawning speculation about a potential third game. However, many also believed it’d be a new expansion, update, or something of that sort, rather than a fully fledged sequel.
Nevertheless, with this domain name, we’re almost a hundred percent sure that Guild Wars 3 will be revealed tonight during the SGF, so let’s hope we get a lot of other heavy hitters from big-name studios.
