20 Years After Launch is Now The Best Time To Get Into Guild Wars with the 20th anniversary sale.
Old Tyria awaits today. ArenaNet, the visionary studio behind Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2, has announced a massive sale to celebrate Guild Wars’ 20th birthday. The seminal online RPG that launched on PC decades ago is now available at a steep discount, and it’s surprisingly still relevant.
Players who intermittently head back into the days before the Elder dragons fell will find a few changes to the original release. ArenaNet dropped a content update recently, and it’s an unexpected bonus for some. Loot monsters can head back in and start bashing. Promotional items that were only obtainable as pre-orders and territorial bonuses from the mid-2000s will now be added as rare drops from high-level enemies in the game world.
A new timed festival is also ongoing, giving players the chance to loot previously limited-release mini pets. Head to Merrise in Embark Beach as part of the in-game Anniversary festival until May 6.
That’s not all. The loot tables take a turn in the updates, with new weapon upgrades for main-hand weapons now included in the rare drop tables. The new modifiers will create new gameplay opportunities, as well as adding a glowing cosmetic flair to weapons. Fashion Wars never dies!
New Players and a Deep Discount
If this is all a little unknown to you, then it’s the perfect time to jump in and find out what it all means. After hitting this massive milestone, the store welcomes, and all-new edition of this epic title.
It compiles two decades of value into a single collection, and is called Guild Wars: The 20th Anniversary Masterpiece Collection. Pulling together all three of the game’s campaigns (Prophecies, Factions, and Nightfall), the Eye of the North expansion, and the Bonus Mission Pack, it comes with a massive 80% off, the biggest discount ever seen. Head to the official store or just jump in to face the new loot.
Guild Wars is a hugely popular online RPG developed by ArenaNet. Set in the land of Tryia long before the events of the hit MMORPG Guild Wars 2, this buy-once-and-play-forever RPG first launched in 2020. It introduced players to humans in a fantasy realm, the warlike Charr, and other mysterious races in an epic adventure.
