In a recent video blog, ArenaNet confirmed that the development of Guild Wars 1 and Guild Wars 2 will persist even after the anticipated release of Guild Wars 3. Colin Johanson, the studio head, reassured fans that they are committed to supporting these beloved titles, stating, "We are not replacing your favorite games. We'll be supporting them." This approach marks a significant shift from the norm, particularly when compared to the transition from Guild Wars to Guild Wars 2, which saw the original game largely phased out. Currently, Guild Wars 2 is preparing for updates, including an optimization pass and a return of the Hall of Monuments system, allowing players to earn rewards for the upcoming Guild Wars 3. Additionally, Guild Wars 1 is set to receive new dungeons, indicating a long-term strategy for both games. The studio's commitment to ongoing support aligns with trends in the MMO landscape, where multiple active versions of games coexist, as seen with titles like Final Fantasy and RuneScape.
