Guild Wars 2®

Guild Wars 2® suits players who enjoy wandering without a fixed route and finding things along the way. The world doesn't wait for you to level up: events start on their own, so you can walk up and join in. The mood is relaxed, though it can turn chaotic when dozens of players take on the same world boss. What hooks you: - The first hours go to exploring: hidden paths, and jumping puzzles that are easier to crack with a friend. - Helping a stranger is normal here. You don't need a party, just be nearby. - If you want competition, PvP is fair, with no leveling grind and access to top gear. - Classes feel genuinely different, each with its own take on weapons, and builds can be swapped to match your mood. To buy Guild Wars 2® as a Steam gift, place your order and send us your Steam quick invite link. We'll add you as a friend and send the game as a gift to your account. Guild Wars 2's open world is all about discovery and exploration. Check your content guide for suggestions when you set out on your adventures, consult your compass to find interesting landmarks…or just pick your favorite direction to travel in and let adventure find you. Tyria is full of characters with their own stories and goals, and you'll be rewarded for helping them out-or thwarting their plans-by completing renown hearts and dynamic events. Read our new player guide for more tips! When you meet other players in the open world, you don't need to join their party to lend a helping hand, investigate a secret jumping puzzle, or team up against a deadly world boss. Don't grind; play the way you want to play! Whether you're reviving defeated players, rescuing soldiers from a Risen onslaught, or gathering herbs, you'll earn experience points. Arm your character with an arsenal of new weapons as you play. Every profession wields them differently, and each type has its own playstyle, which you can refine and customize by unlocking and equipping hundreds of skills and traits. If you want to jump straight into structured PvP, go for it-every player competes at the same level, with access to the max-level gear and build options you need to make your mark. If you love fashion, express yourself with the perfect character design! When you equip new weapons and armor, you'll unlock their skins in your wardrobe. Make them truly yours with thousands of possible combinations and a massive selection of collectible dyes.
