About Guild Wars 2

Guild Wars 2 centres its open world on discovery and exploration, encouraging you to follow a content guide, consult your compass for landmarks, or simply strike out in whatever direction appeals and let adventure find you. The land of Tyria brims with characters pursuing their own goals, and helping or hindering them through renown hearts and dynamic events rewards your curiosity. Whether reviving fallen players, saving soldiers from a Risen assault, or gathering herbs, everything you do earns experience.

The game is built to be played your way rather than grinded through. Meeting other players in the open world means you can pitch in on a jumping puzzle or a world boss without formally joining a party. Every profession wields its weapons differently, and each weapon type carries its own playstyle that you refine by unlocking and equipping hundreds of skills and traits.

Structured PvP is open the moment you want it, placing every player on equal footing with max-level gear and build options so competition comes down to skill. For those drawn to appearance, the game invites you to express yourself through detailed character design and fashion. As an MMO RPG adventure on PC, Guild Wars 2 rewards freedom and self-directed play.
