ArenaNet has slashed the prices of Guild Wars 2 legacy expansions and digital deluxe upgrades by up to 40%, the developer announced. The promotion marks the MMORPG's 14th anniversary—a milestone that, in internet years, makes the game roughly contemporary with the invention of the dial-up modem.
According to the studio, the anniversary pricing is live on the official store and runs through September 1, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. PT. For a fantasy world that has spent over a decade quietly expanding its borders, a discount like this is a rare chance to catch up without having to finance your digital travel.
The details
Keeping a virtual world populated for nearly a decade and a half is no small feat, especially when the biggest barrier to entry is usually the mountain of back-content new players have to climb. Lowering the toll booth, even temporarily, is ArenaNet’s way of keeping Tyria crowded while the veteran players celebrate another candle on the cake.
It is, if nothing else, cheaper than buying fourteen physical birthday cards.
