Trigarta: Laranity pointed out the loops could point to Orr.

Vinceras: Knowing how the gaming market has been trending....watch it be a mobile game -_-

jeremysmith7176: I haven't seen Arenanet do this much marketing since announcing Icebrood Saga in a live theater.

tombocai: The artwork is giving me a bit of GW1 vibes, it would be kinda funny if they would announce a new GW1 expansion when everyone expects GW3

TheBestestRich: This is War of Guilds, their new RTS

Hurric4ne_: "Raise your Banner"... well, my Banner is raised *hihi*.

Beriorn: Nah we're all getting trolled and the next expansion's Fractal is set in a pre-sunk Orr.

nimafor: it's a full dive neurolink wvw VR experience in guild wars universe just like Sword Art Online where if you die in the game you die in real life

JayRandomness07: I'm still half convinced it's a standalone game with the Guild Wars IP. A really good 30hr long RPG with a good story, set in Orr would be pretty neat ngl.

Though it's not like I'd be unhappy with a gw3 announcement or anything, just fun to speculate.

MoreImbaThanYou: New Expansion for GW1. Just putting this out here, so in the unlikely case that I am right, I'll be able to do the biggest "I told you so" in history.

KeyeLime_Pieh: IMO, this could be WvW related. WvW takes place in “The Mists” and Anet recently copyrighted “Mistforged”(?). Also, a Friday reveal date when WvW reset happens on Fridays. Maybe a new WvW map?

2nd_Directorate: It is Orr before it was destroyed. Look at the rings in the background, we see them in Orr in GW2 too...

davidvidya9657: An AAAAnet live service deck building hero shooter roguelite farming life sim manager that's actually a metaphor for depression.

I hope it's not Guild Wars 3 (yet). That announcement will drastically shake the prices in the trading post.

What if it's a PvP revamp

PetrSUsername: 1:16 finally banner warrior comeback. Nice. Anet heared the millions of people playing warriors.

enriquesabatel1411: I counted seven flags. Which would align with expansion number seven. I believe that this is related to a new expansion that will be announced on Friday.

Belleslayer: New GW2 xpac, gimme my Elementalist a Longbow already!

theashapeshift: Looks like ascalon before searing

ErgoProxy12345: Guild Wars Zero: the arrival of the gods

coelhobuda: Massive WvW overhaul with new maps and map mechanics!

FlyingFlumpasaurus: GW3 is a possibility, but I'm calling it now; standalone PvPvE game, either set on Orr during the First Guild War, or it goes even further back and it's set in the original home of humanity. I kind of hope I'm wrong but hey, we'll see on Friday!

Nijaparyman: God i hope its not a hero shooter somehow.

moosecat00: Guildwars prequel, the story of how man discovered Tyria.

Silent002: Guild Wars: Year 0. That city looks just like what I'd imagine Arah would've looked like back in the day, and that point in time has so much going for it lore-wise.

Djynni: Nice face Muk

followthewolves1991: If its Orr, maybe whatever this is will extend to both gw1 and gw2. Some sort of Mist event where content happens within both games at the same time?

TheRetifox: It is a 100% new game, the date is the same day where Summer Game Fest happens, now the question is, is this gonna be MMO, Single Player, or a bit of both(Co-Op, or Singleplayer game with some Online elements).

wige: Lets see... SotO was announced June 27 2023, Janthir Wilds was announced June 4 2024, Visions of Eternity was announced July 15, 2025... in 2023 they announced they were planning a yearly expansion cadence... I wonder if they might be announcing an expansion. Also interesting that of all the possibilities Mukluk mentioned, an expansion wasn't on the list. Almost as if he can't say something, what with that NDA he mentioned and all...
