FAQ

What is included in the purchase of Guild Wars Reforged?

Guild Wars Reforged will include the three main Guild Wars campaigns: Guild Wars: Prophecies™, Guild Wars Factions™, and Guild Wars Nightfall™.

Other content, such as the Guild Wars: Eye of the North expansion and Bonus Mission Pack, will remain available as additional purchases alongside account upgrades and costumes.

The system requirements will remain unchanged. You can review the existing system requirements here.

Why are you calling it Guild Wars Reforged if it's not a remake or remaster?

We were thrilled with the number of new and returning players that came to Guild Wars for its 20th anniversary, but many players also encountered the limitations of the 20-year-old client that wasn't designed for modern PCs, displays, and input methods. Guild Wars Reforged focuses on improving the game experience for both new and returning players. For a general overview of changes and features, please see New Features section above.

What happens if I already have Guild Wars on Steam?

We've got you covered! You still have it and will automatically have access to Guild Wars Reforged when it launches. Players who have previously purchased Guild Wars on Steam will have it automatically upgraded to Guild Wars Reforged in their Steam library and will still be able to log in with their email-based accounts, but they will not be able to create a new account tied to their Steam login.

What if I already purchased Guild Wars from the ArenaNet webstore (or somewhere else)?

You also have Guild Wars Reforged! The client is getting an upgrade, and if you have access to the game, you are going to retain access to all the content that you have already purchased.

Will my progress be saved and carried over to Guild Wars Reforged?

Yes. You will be able to log in to your existing game account and continue your Guild Wars adventure where you left off, with no impact to your character progress or inventory. This update mainly includes visual enhancements and improvements to the user experience, while the core gameplay will remain the same.

Do I have to buy a new copy for the verified Steam Deck version?

You will need to purchase a copy of Guild Wars on Steam to run the game on your Steam Deck from your Steam library. If you have purchased Guild Wars previously on Steam, it will automatically be upgraded to Guild Wars Reforged, and you will be able to play it on your Steam Deck and log in with your existing credentials.

Will I need to make a new account to log in to the new client?

If you are a new player, you will be able to make a new account when starting the game. If you purchase the game on Steam, you will be able to create an account linked to your Steam ID. If you purchase the game from the Guild Wars website, you will receive a key that can be used to create an account tied to an email address.

How can I synchronize my Hall of Monuments?

New purchasers of Guild Wars Reforged on Steam can now create a Guild Wars account tied to their Steam login.

If you have a Guild Wars 2 account tied to the same Steam login, you can earn rewards and titles for that Guild Wars 2 account via the Hall of Monuments (the Guild Wars: Eye of the North expansion is required to access the Hall of Monuments).
