Guild Wars 2 – Steam Release Postponed

Back in August, we learned that a new Guild Wars 2 expansion was in the works, and that ArenaNet’s MMORPG was set to launch on Steam in November. But, with November upon us, we get this quick announcement informing us that the developers are currently focusing all their efforts on that new End of Dragons expansion, and as such, the Steam release had to be put on hold.

Here’s more on that:

At the end of summer, we gave you a first look at the next Guild Wars 2 expansion, Guild Wars 2: End of Dragons. We have been overwhelmed by the response. Delivering this next chapter in the Guild Wars® universe is our highest priority.

With this in mind, we’ve made the decision to put the Guild Wars 2 Steam release on hold for the time being. Our number one priority right now is crafting Guild Wars 2: End of Dragons with the high quality you expect and deserve. Additionally, we’re full speed ahead on delivering an epic climax to The Icebrood Saga that lives up to (and we hope exceeds) previous Living World finales.

In the meantime, we’re looking forward to showing you the first trailer for The Icebrood Saga: Champions next Thursday, November 5.
