ArenaNet has announced details of the sixth expansion for Guild Wars 2: it’s called Visions of Eternity, and it’s coming on October 28th.
The developer says that “Visions of Eternity will offer a suite of new content and features for established and new players alike, including a new Homestead plot, new and upgraded abilities for the skimmer mount, an all-new story set in the island realm of Castora, two new explorable maps, and a new elite specialization for all nine of the game’s playable professions.”
You can check out a short trailer for Visions of Eternity, below:
The new expansion will cost $24.99 and similarly to the previous expansion (Janthir Wilds), it’ll have three updates scheduled for release throughout 2026. On launch day you’ll get two new maps on an island called Castora (“a heretofore unvisited part of Tyria and home to ancient magics that have warped the local flora and fauna in stunning ways”). New build options and a new elite specialisation are available, along with new trails, and utility skills. Even the Skimmer Mount can get new abilities through “three new mastery lines” that are available on Castora.
“Visions of Eternity continues our commitment to major yearly content expansions,” said Josh Davis, Guild Wars 2 Game Director. “Over a decade into the game’s life, we’re making improvements and enhancements to game modes and systems, expanding the horizon of Guild Wars 2’s gameplay. This expansion is offering up more elite specializations to further grow the possibilities for player customization and gameplay while becoming more seamlessly accessible across game modes and activities.”
The island can also be turned into a beachside home, and you can decorate with furniture, accessories, and more. You can also share your creations with other online players, so you can get designs you like, as long as you have the decorations you actually need to do it.
Of course you’ll also be able to get new legendary gear. At launch there will be an aquabreather, and later on there’ll be a new ring, accessory, and another legendary weapon.
