Guild Wars 2<\/em><\/strong> developer ArenaNet has been going through some challenging times, with a round of layoffs reportedly hitting mid-October. At the time, it was not made public what impact the layoffs would have on ArenaNet, Guild Wars 2<\/em><\/a>, or the MMO’s upcoming third expansion. Today, at least one unfortunate result has been announced. In August, it was announced that Guild Wars 2<\/em> would be released on Steam in November, but those plans have now been delayed indefinitely.<\/p>\n

In a news\u00a0piece shared from “The Guild Wars 2 Team,” ArenaNet confirmed the Steam port has been placed on hold. No new release date was announced for the Guild Wars 2<\/em> Steam release<\/a>, nor was there any reassurance that the Steam release would be completed eventually. For the foreseeable future, Guild Wars 2<\/em> will remain accessible only through ArenaNet’s proprietary launcher.<\/p>\n

ArenaNet does explain why it’s placing the Steam release on hold. It says that it’s focused on completing the End of Dragons<\/em> expansion for Guild Wars 2<\/em><\/a> at “the high quality you expect and deserve.” This expansion is described as ArenaNet’s highest priority, which makes it clear that the Steam release is not a priority in comparison. ArenaNet does say that it’s also working on the conclusion of Guild Wars 2<\/em>‘s current Living Story, The Icebrood Saga: Champions, too.<\/p>\n

The article ends with the promise that ArenaNet will share a new trailer for The Icebrood Saga’s next chapter this upcoming week. The first chapter of the Icebrood Saga: Champions\u00a0story arc will be revealed on Thursday, November 5. From there, The Icebrood Saga<\/a> will continue to roll out as the release of End of Dragons<\/em> in 2021 moves nearer. After that, it’s difficult to guess what comes next for ArenaNet or Guild Wars 2<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Guild Wars 2<\/strong><\/em> is available now on PC.<\/p>\n
