The Guild Wars 3 story pitch sees players holding the line against greedy industrialists who exploit the magical wilds
Developer Aaron Linde outlines the narrative pitch for Guild Wars 3, where players become Vaelwardens fighting industrialists exploiting magical wilds.
ArenaNet has shared new narrative details for its upcoming MMORPG Guild Wars 3, releasing a developer diary authored by Aaron Linde that outlines the game's core premise and setting according to reporting from MassivelyOP.
A Changing World and New Roles
The narrative pitch establishes a shift in the world's status quo following the events of Guild Wars 2. According to Linde's update, the dragons that defined the conflicts of the previous title are now "fast asleep." In their absence, magic is blooming across the world, with the region of Orr specifically highlighted as a location experiencing this resurgence.
Within this evolving landscape, players take on the role of "Vaelwardens." Rather than battling elder dragons, the central conflict positions these players as defenders tasked with "holding the line" against "greedy industrialists" who seek to exploit the revitalized magical wilds.
