Current release: “Guild Wars 2: Visions of Eternity”
Guild Wars 2®: Visions of Eternity™, the sixth expansion to the award-winning MMORPG Guild Wars 2.
In pursuit of the notorious Inquest, the commander sets sail toward the fabled land of Castora—an island infamous in seafaring circles for impassable storms and impossible escapes.
In this treacherous paradise of raw magic, vicious beasts, and warring factions, the commander embarks on a mission to track the cunning asura through twisting caverns and uncharted forests on the way to unraveling the powerful mysteries that drew the Inquest to Castora. With a substantial head start, dangerous new experiments at the ready, and greedy mercenaries at their disposal, the Inquest have the advantage. But the commander isn’t tackling this mission alone—from sly corsairs to smug wizards, gritty castaways to glitchy golems, the commander will need to rely on allies old and new to hunt the Inquest through sun-drenched shoals and starlit jungles to uncover the true nature of Castora’s buried secrets.
The adventure of Guild Wars 2: Visions of Eternity will unfold over the course of four major releases, beginning today with launch content and continuing quarterly into 2026.
Guild Wars 2: Visions of Eternity is available for prepurchase! Pick it up right now through the official web store, from the in-game store, Steam, or official retailers.
