The developers from ArenaNet are back with a new video dedicated to the upcoming MMORPG Guild Wars 3, its playable species, the Vaelwardens, and the history that shapes the world long before the events of Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2.
Join narrative lead Aaron Linde and sr. narrative designer Liz Baker to dive deeper into the lore for new insight into the people, cultures, and conflicts that define this era of Tyria’s history. Players get to encounter various species at a totally different point in history to see how they shaped the world – and were shaped by it in turn, and that includes not only Humans but also the Asura, whom we will witness before their awesome magitech explosion.
Sr. narrative designer Erin Amschlinger adds that in Guild Wars 3 players are going to have the opportunity to play as a Kodan for the very first time. That means a brand-new perspective to explore, which thrills the team. There’s a lot of ideological overlap between the Kodan and the Vaelwardens, there is a lot of real reverence to nature in their culture.
“When the Vaelwardens call, will you raise your banner as an ambitious asura, steadfast human, nature-bound kodan, or a yet-to-be-revealed race? Discover the cultures, motivations, and stories that inspire asura, humans, and kodan to join the Vaelwardens during a pivotal era in the history of Orr – and Tyria.”
