Guild Wars 2’s Steam Release Has Been Delayed!

Guild Wars 2 was all set to receive a steam release, bringing itself more in line with the PC players. But now, the developers have announced that the release has been put on hold due to other priorities!

Many may have already noticed how many MMOs are finally transitioning onto Steam, such as Star Wars: The Old Republic and Runescape. ArenaNet’s Guild Wars was supposed to come to Steam as well, that too, this November!

Well, as you may have noticed already, the game WAS supposed to come to Steam this November. However, its release has been put on indefinite hold as the team wants to focus on one of the game’s upcoming expansions, End of Dragons.

“Our number one priority right now is crafting Guild Wars 2: End of Dragons with the high quality you expect and deserve. Additionally, we’re full speed ahead on delivering an epic climax to The Icebrood Saga that lives up to (and we hope exceeds) previous Living World finales.”

Steam’s players also don’t seem to mind, which is pretty understandable as Guild Wars 2 is completely worth the wait!

Even amongst the existing hordes of MMOs out there, Guild Wars 2 stands out by a considerable margin because of its intricately polished and unique game mechanics.

When you boot up Guild Wars 2, you’ll be blown away by how much the game’s world has in store for you. But before that happens, you’ll find that the world itself is a persistent-type!

What this means is that the world will continue to exist, evolve, and change without the player ever actually doing much!

This concept is pretty common in single-player games, as many of you may know, but to accomplish the creation of a persistent multi-player game world is on an entirely different level of uncommon!

The story of the game revolves around Destiny’s Edge’s re-emergence, a guild whose sole objective is to fight the elder dragons that have taken over Tyria, the game’s fictional land.

While it is a pretty normal state of affairs for an MMO, the game’s event system helps players approach the quest in several different ways, keeping the entire ordeal fresh as always!

Anyhow, make sure to wishlist the game so that you can drop into Tyria’s delightfully fantastic world the moment the game drops on Steam!
