ArenaNet has officially unveiled Guild Wars 2: Visions of Eternity, the game’s next major expansion, launching on October 28, 2025. Set on the mysterious island continent of Castora, this expansion promises a year-long journey filled with new maps, elite specializations, and long-awaited features.
At launch, players will explore two brand-new open-world maps steeped in ley-line magic and Inquest secrets, with two more arriving in seasonal updates. A highlight of Visions of Eternity is the return of elite specializations for all nine professions, offering fresh skills, mechanics, and new ways to build your character. Fans can test them early during a beta event from August 20–27 2025.
The expansion also brings major updates to gameplay systems. The skimmer mount has been reworked for better underwater and terrain traversal, and raids and strike missions will be unified into a streamlined system in 2026, making endgame content more accessible.
Players can also look forward to six new legendary items, a tropical homestead for those who own both Janthir Wilds and Visions of Eternity, and the long-requested fashion template system, allowing players to easily save and swap cosmetic loadouts.
With a strong focus on player customization, exploration, and long-term content, Visions of Eternity is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious expansions yet.
