Guild Wars 2 Is Now on the Epic Games Store - Launch Trailer

Guild Wars 2® is now on the Epic Games Store! We’re excited to make the world of Tyria accessible to new audiences, and with the recent launch of Guild Wars 2®: Janthir Wilds™, the timing couldn’t be more perfect.

Epic Games Store players can dive into the core Guild Wars 2 experience for free, with the same access as free accounts created on GuildWars2.com. And for those ready to dive even deeper, all expansions—Heart of Thorns, Path of Fire®, End of Dragons®, Secrets of the Obscure™, and Janthir Wilds—are available from day one!

A New Start

Guild Wars 2 has captivated players for 12 incredible years, and to celebrate this milestone—along with our exciting new partnership with Epic Games—we’re thrilled to unveil a brand-new trailer that captures the heart and journey of Tyria.

Now is also a great time to start a new adventure in Guild Wars 2! From November 12 to November 25, join the New Hero Jump Start Event, where players can earn bonus experience and choose between a powerful main-hand or two-handed exotic weapon that scales dynamically with their level. Leveling up has never been easier, making it the perfect time to dive into Tyria or experiment with a new profession.

Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or just beginning your journey, there are epic battles to fight and countless adventures ahead.

Please note that existing Guild Wars 2 accounts created through the Epic Games Store cannot be linked to accounts created through Steam or the Guild Wars 2 website, and any codes purchased for these accounts remain exclusive to their respective platforms. However, players on first-party, Steam, and Epic can all enjoy gameplay together in the same game world, with the Epic launch available in North America and Europe.
