End of Dragons is the priority
Earlier this year, we weregiven a teaser taste ofGuild Wars 2‘s next expansion: which would later come to be known asEnd of Dragons.
But while we waited for the next chapter of theGuild Warssaga to begin, ArenaNet dished out some juicy news thatthe game was coming to Steam(sans account transfers). Well, that plan is changing, at least temporarily. According to a short post from ArenaNet, the company has made the decision to “put theGuild Wars 2Steam release on hold for the time being.”
The reason given? Their “number one priority” is focusing on theEnd of Dragonsexpansion and the “epic climax” to the current storyline, to deliver “high quality” content. In fact, the first major look at the upcoming Icebrood Saga conclusion is coming this week on November 5.
For those of you who don’t playGuild Wars 2, the idea is that the game is part of a “living” world, where storyline changes can come through major or minor patches. Although other MMOs likeWorld of Warcrafthave “pre-patches” and the like to facilitate similar story arcs,Guild Wars 2is built around its narrative at its core.
While it’s a bummer that the game isn’t coming to Steam anytime soon, I’m sure veterans don’t mind as they can’t transfer their accounts anyway.
