There could be a new spin-off game from Guild Wars. Here's what we know.
Guild Wars 2 is one of the most popular MMORPGs on the market, and some very observant fans have noticed a new request with its name.
Guild Wars 2, one of the most recognized and free MMORPGs on the market, has maintained its popularity and activity for over ten years since its launch. It has established itself as a strong competitor, going up against giants like World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy XIV, managing to survive this fierce competition. Recently, information about a possible expansion or spinoff has leaked that could satisfy fans while they await the arrival of Guild Wars 3.
The first hint about the new game appeared on SteamDB, a platform that provides detailed statistics about Steam. Now, this application has been named Lion’s Arch: GuildWars Arena (Private Test). However, it is important to mention that it is currently hidden from public access, meaning it cannot be searched for on Steam at this time.
A deeper analysis of the end-user license agreements on Steam revealed a specific mention of NCSoft Co., the developer behind Guild Wars 2. While there isn't much additional information available, some inferences can be drawn based on what is known. Lion's Arch is a city in the kingdom of Kryta, and there have long been rumors of a possible collectible card game related to Guild Wars 2. It's possible that this new title is the long-awaited card game, although it could also be something more action-oriented. There is even a possibility that it could be a MOBA, although this idea seems less likely.
NCSoft is going through an excellent time, with the continued success of Guild Wars 2 and the recent launch of Throne and Liberty. The release of another game in a beloved intellectual property could generate even more expectations, especially if NCSoft plans to unveil Guild Wars 3 in the near future.
