Prepurchase: “Guild Wars 2: Visions of Eternity”
We’re thrilled to announce our nextexpansion,Guild Wars 2®: Visions of Eternity™ and its release date! Guild Wars 2: Visions of Eternity launches on October 28, 2025, and, like the previous two expansions, will bring with it a year of story chapters and three major content updates.
Tyria’s leaders are anxious about rumors of covertInquest voyages launched in search ofCastora, an island so remote that it’s long been thought to be inaccessible—or even nonexistent. The risks involved prevent all but the most tenacious (and perhaps foolhardy) of pursuers from investigating the Inquest’s plan.
Your race to discover the Inquest’s plot will lead you across two new open-world regions at launch, each filled with magical energies and strange creatures. Two additional maps will open as the story continues over the course of a year. For Guild Wars 2: Visions of Eternity, we’ll be releasing story chapters differently than we’ve done for the previous two expansions.
Guild Wars 2: Visions of Eternity is available for prepurchase! Pick it up right now through theofficial web store, from the in-game store,Steam, or official retailers.
