In a lengthy blog post updating Guild Wars 2 fans of the current status of development, ArenaNet confirmed that the Guild Wars 2: End of Dragons expansion has been delayed. It’s no longer planned for release later this year, but will instead launch in early 2022. ArenaNet attributes the delay to the ongoing pandemic and the way that it has changed how the studio makes games. With that in mind, ArenaNet asks its fans to be patient while the team brings its creative vision to fruition.

Guild Wars 2: End of Dragons will be the MMO’s third major expansion, but it’s much more than that, too. It’s expected to be the culmination of Guild Wars 2’s biggest story, the one surrounding Elder Dragons and their cycle of destruction. It’s not the end of Guild Wars 2’s story altogether, however. End of Dragons also marks a return to one of the original Guild Wars’ most popular locations, the continent of Cantha. As such, Guild Wars 2 fans are sure to be willing to wait an extra few months.
Suffice to say, ArenaNet is still moving forward full steam towards the release of its End of Dragons expansion. Continued support of the MMO’s living story is also progressing. The team is taking more time to make sure everything lives up to its own expectations, though, so Guild Wars 2 players will have to remain patient.
Guild Wars 2 is available now on PC.
