Guild Wars 3 reveal speculation ramps up a notch as domain digging unearths a recently updated website

ArenaNet has stoked speculation about a potential Guild Wars 3 announcement following cryptic teasers posted to Guild Wars 2’s social media accounts this week. The studio shared a mysterious video with the caption “The wind stirs. The world shifts. Stand ready,” which the developer conspicuously did not deny was referring to a new entry in the franchise.

Enthusiasm intensified when domain investigators discovered that a website URL fitting the profile of a Guild Wars 3 project—registered to NC Corporation, ArenaNet’s parent company—was recently updated on June 5th. While the domain has not been made publicly accessible, its existence and recent modification have become the focal point of community speculation.

The timing suggests an announcement may be imminent at Summer Game Fest, which is taking place today. ArenaNet’s apparent willingness to let the mystery unfold, rather than immediately shutting down conjecture, has only amplified fan anticipation about the next chapter of the long-running MMORPG franchise.
