Weeks after announcing that the launch of Visions of Eternity would be delayed by two months, Guild Wars 2 gave players a look at the game's future. Guild Wars 2: Visions of Eternity will go live on Tuesday, October 28, at approximately Noon Eastern. ArenaNet shared the first details about Visions of Eternity via a short trailer that lasted over a minute. Along with the updates to the game's professions, Visions of Eternity will see some upgrades to the Skimmer mount, which will allow players easier passage through Castora's wild environments. Additionally, Guild Wars 2 transmog collectors will get a major upgrade, as fashion templates will allow players to save their favorite cosmetics and swap between them as easily as build and equipment templates already do.
Guild Wars 2: Visions of Eternity Launches October 28
Pre-orders for Guild Wars 2: Visions of Eternity are now available starting at $24.99 for the Standard Edition. Unlike previous updates, Visions of Eternity's elite specializations will not offer new weapon choices to players, but instead give professions like the magical Elementalist new abilities and customization options. Guild Wars 2's raids and strikes will also be streamlined under a new structure that will go live in 2026, along with new systems to encourage group content.
Guild Wars 2 players who own both Janthir Wilds and Visions of Eternity will also gain access to a new Homestead. Given that Castora is an uncharted island, it remains to be seen how the latest chapter in Guild Wars 2 will play out.
