Guild Wars developer ArenaNet has announced Guild Wars Reforged, a new initiative that aims to make the original Guild Wars accessible to new players through a series of revamps and overhauls.
As revealed via the official Guild Wars website, Reforged will be launching on December 3rd. All of its enhancements will be completely free for existing players, including improved visual and audio effects, a new UI, and Steam Deck compatibility.
The new Guild Wars Reforged package will collect the three standalone campaigns, namely Prophecies (the base game's campaign), Factions, and Nightfall, together in a single bundle. If you've bought just one of these before, the others will be free, and ArenaNet isn't introducing any subscription fees either.
You can also look forward to Steam Deck verification for Guild Wars, as well as additional support for modern controllers and a redesigned UI that supports higher-DPI displays and larger text.
That UI is joined by a new quest tracking system that should make it easier to find your objectives, plus a new "on-screen control guide" that will presumably show you what kind of things your character can do at any given time.
A range of visual and audio improvements...
