A new entry on SteamDB is causing quite a buzz. Lion's Arch: Guild Wars Arena will be a card game based on the classic Guild Wars and developed by NCSOft.
Back in 2023, there were rumors of a Guild Wars card game based on job postings at NCSoft. After a long period of silence, the rumors are back as a playtest on Steam DB is now spreading through the community.
Is Hearthstoene getting competition?
On October 25, 2024, a new thread on SteamDB quickly made the rounds. "Lion's Arch: Guild Wars Arena (Private Playtest)" was the name of a new game that was being launched and whose player count was being kept secret from the public. Although the post itself doesn't say much, fans were able to glean some information from the game's cover.
The banner features a clear image of the ancient Lion's Arch, the capital of Guild Wars 2, which has been destroyed over time. The logo itself is reminiscent of the emblem of the capital Lion's Arch.
NCSoft has not yet announced anything about the game, or how or if ArenaNet, the developer of Guild Wars 2, is involved in its development.
In addition, this is a playtest, so who knows whether the game will survive this test? We'll keep you posted!
