Guild Wars 2 Sets Sail to Lands Unknown in New Expansion ‘Visions of Eternity’ Launching October 28, 2025

New Beachside Homestead Plot and Elite Specializations Provide Launch Pad for Setting Sail to Undiscovered Lands of Castora

BELLEVUE, WA – July 15, 2025 – Today developer ArenaNet® announced Guild Wars 2®: Visions of Eternity™, the sixth expansion for the award-winning and critically acclaimed MMORPG Guild Wars 2. Releasing on October 28, 2025, 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. 

The new Guild Wars 2: Visions of Eternity trailer can be viewed below.

Visions of Eternity will go on sale for $24.99 and, like its predecessor Guild Wars 2: Janthir Wilds™, have three planned major updates scheduled for release throughout 2026. Launch day will open two new maps on the island of Castora, a heretofore unvisited part of Tyria and home to ancient magics that have warped the local flora and fauna in stunning ways. Amidst this enigmatic new land, players will be able to explore new build options for their characters as each of the game’s professions can earn a new elite specialization with a collection of new traits and utility skills that will further increase the game’s already staggering amount of gameplay customization options. The skimmer mount, already a master of aquatic environments, can develop new capabilities through one of three new mastery lines associated with Castora.

The Homestead system introduced in Janthir Wilds is being extended in Visions of Eternity.A new plot for players’ homesteads will be available on the sunny beaches of Castora. The expansion’s Homestead Layout feature will allow players to easily and quickly share their customized space with others, allowing a perfect duplicate of a construction so long as a player has the requisite decorations. Whether they want to live in the wintery vales of Janthir or among the waves of a new island paradise, a player can choose which of their homestead plots is active at any time and use Layouts to easily restore their favorite looks.

The three planned major future updates will launch at no additional charge and continue to add new experiences: two additional maps, new Raid Encounters, a new Convergence, new rewards (including new earnable items in the Wizard’s Vault), two extensions of the storyline, new legendary gear, and more will arrive in 2026.

Visions of Eternity’s new story begins with rumors of an island fabled by the seafarers of Tyria, rich with magic and ley energy. Word arrives to the Tyrian Alliance that the Inquest, a conniving krewe of asuran technology researchers, has been in search of that island, Castora—and when the Inquest start sneaking around, it spells danger for the rest of Tyria. Together with those allies willing to brave a voyage into the unknown, the Commander sets off in the hopes of discovering what the Inquest’s goals are—and stopping them before it’s too late.

“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.”

A wealth of newfeatures, activities, and storylines open up new possibilities for play:

  • New maps: Two new explorable maps will be available on October 28, with a third and fourth to follow in future updates.
  • Elite Specializations: A new swath of character build options arrives to provide even more gameplay possibilities. Each new elite specialization offers new utility skills and traits for players to discover and hone their preferred play style across the broad range of the game’s nine character professions. Anyone with a Guild Wars 2 account can partake in a beta to try out the new elite specializations August 20-27.
  • New and improved Skimmer: Dive into the sea with improved exploration and combat abilities on the skimmer. The skimmer updates represent one of three new mastery lines tied to the region of Castora.
  • New Raid Encounters and group content: The magically-infused landscape of the island is home to all manner of warped and twisted wildlife, which will provide groups of 10 players their ultimate challenge in instanced PvE content, coming in future updates.
  • New Homestead plot: By turning the wreckage of an island shipwreck into a fantabulous beachside home, decorators will have full control over the furniture, structure, and accessories in their cozy new paradise. Homestead Layouts can be shared with other players, giving characters instant access to their friends’ best designs so long as they have the required decorations. 
  • New Legendary Gear: A legendary weapon and legendary acquabreather at launch will be joined later by a legendary ring, legendary accessory, and another legendary weapon in later releases. These, along with a host of new armor and weapon sets and new Wizards Vault rewards will bring a decidedly magic island vibe to the adventure.

Guild Wars 2: Visions of Eternity is available for pre-purchase starting today at https://buy.guildwars2.com/visions-of-eternity for $24.99, and includes a bundle of pre-purchase bonus items, including a Tropical Resin Kintsugi weapon set, a Sea Captain Hat headpiece, the Eternal Alchemist character title, a shared inventory slot, and a level 80 character boost.

Developed by the talented studio Magic Pockets, this game will offer players around the world a unique opportunity to relive the thrilling adventures of Cobra by exploring the first 12 episodes of the series, featuring one of its most iconic arcs: the Captain Nelson’s treasure.

Created in 1978 by Buichi Terasawa, the cult manga Cobra has captivated several generations of fans worldwide with its plot full of twists, skillfully blending science fiction, action, and mystery.

This charismatic character, accompanied by his loyal partner Armaroid Lady, has captured the imagination of the audience through his numerous escapades across the universe.

In addition to the gameplay reveal, playable demos are now available across Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and Nintendo Switch, offering players an early hands-on look at the game’s universe, mechanics, and art direction ahead of its official launch.

Key Features Revealed in the Gameplay Trailer:

  • A FAITHFUL ADAPTATION: Space Adventure Cobra – The Awakening is the first video-game adaptation of Cobra on modern platforms. It covers the first 12 episodes of the famous anime series, remaining true to its spirit with the moments of bravery and humour that made it so special.
  • A THRILLING SF WORLD: Immerse yourself in this amazing SF-Space Opera world as you embark on your adventure as a fearsome, charismatic hero. Over the course of this epic journey, you will cross paths with colourful characters like the Royal Sisters and the terrifying Crystal Bowie – Cobra’s nemesis.
  • AN ACTION AND PLATFORM CROSSOVER: Visit a multitude of exotic planets across levels filled with traps that will test your skills to the limit. With Cobra’s superhuman abilities, you will need to relentlessly run, jump and climb, and make sure you use all the means at your disposal to take out your enemies.
  • EQUIPPED TO THE NINES: Master Cobra’s iconic weapons, such as the awesome Psychogun and the Colt Python 77, to destroy the opponents on your heels, as well as his famous gadgets like the cigar and the grappling hook. You will need all of your arsenal to defeat the powerful bosses standing in your way.
  • SOLO AND MULTIPLAYER MODES: Explore story mode by choosing from the 3 difficulty levels, allowing veterans of the genre to take on a challenge worthy of their skills, while those who simply want to enjoy the story can play without major obstacles. You can also try to escape your enemies in a 2-player co-op mode.

The game Space Adventure Cobra – The Awakening promises to stay true to the spirit of the 1982 animated series while delivering an immersive and modern experience, specially designed for long-time fans as well as a new generation of players. With graphics that remain faithful to the anime’s spirit, dynamic gameplay, and a carefully crafted narrative, this game is set to be a vibrant tribute to Buichi Terasawa’s work, while allowing players to immerse themselves in Cobra’s fascinating and dangerous universe.

Space Adventure Cobra – The Awakening launches August 26, 2025 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

COMPETITION HEATS UP; PRICE OF GLORY PLAYERS NOW EARN CASH FOR WINS

New Turn-Based Mobile Strategy Game Rewards Players For Perfectly Aligned Attacks And Defensive Moves

Orlando, Florida, 15 July 2025 | Marauder Tech Games,  the premier independent AA studio led by former Tampa Bay Buccaneer and Carolina Panther Morgan Kane, is proud to announce that its hit, highly anticipated turn-based mobile strategy game, Price of Glory 1.9, is now live for Cash Tournaments in the United States. Players from across the nation can now play-to-earn in competitive matches where every move matters.

Compete For Cash Prizes   

Welcome to Price of Glory, an asynchronous turn-based strategy game where players can compete for real rewards. Featured in this new 1.9 update, players can now play Crystal matches to earn enough crystals for cash games or deposit money directly into their wallet, allowing them to compete for real-life currency. Players can choose from two entry amounts, $1 or $5. Marauder Tech Games is also excited to announce that they will be hosting private tournaments, with invitations given out in Discord, on social media, or at local in person events.

Price of Glory is a game of pure skill where nothing is left to chance. Players must carefully protect their stronghold against enemy forces while taking turns to advance into each other’s territory, overcome the opposing army, and destroy the enemy base to win. Clever positioning, effective attacks, and tactical foresight are essential in this strategy mobile title.

Watch Your Troops Come To Life  

Immerse yourself in the world of Price of Glory with the game’s 3D map; units spawn onto the battlefield with idle animations and particle effects. Call upon scouts to see through the fog of war, revealing your enemy’s position, and anticipate unseen threats to your party with healers. Powerful units, known as Heroes, possess unique abilities to change the tide of war. Summon Worp, a mech hero with teleportation abilities, or Blix, capable of converting an enemy unit into one of your own. The game’s primary resource, Animo, is used for spawning units, moving, attacking, and using special abilities. A limited amount of Animo is generated each turn, meaning every choice matters. 

Join In On The Action  

New players looking to join the action can experience Price of Glory’s thorough tutorial system. Begin with an overview of the game’s objective: reducing the enemy’s base to rubble. Following this objective, learn how to manage Animo, spawn different enemy types, and check your units’ HP and attack power. Some units require more Animo to spawn in exchange for greater damage, so managing this balance is a key skill. Once you’ve completed the tutorial, you’re ready to take to the battlefield! “AI Battles ” are the game’s quickplay mode, dropping players straight into the action for low-stakes play. For serious competitors, tournaments and head-to-head cash matches will up the ante. More options will be added over time, and eventually players could expect to play for large prize pools.

Gameplay Features:

  • 3D graphics immerse players in this competitive medieval world!
  • A refined tutorial system offers new players a quick overview of the game.
  • Asynchronous play encourages players to play how they want, when they want, giving them up to 24 hours per turn. Faster turn timers are coming soon. 
  • Strategic gameplay challenges players to think strategically as they manage Animo resources, control strategic tiles, and maneuver around various map layouts to outsmart their opponents.
  • Casual play is available through the “AI Battle” game mode. These one-off matches offer rewards to unlock future in-game content.
  • Three tournament modes offer competitive play for those looking to up the ante. Tournaments can be entered using salt crystals earned in-game or purchased directly. 
  • A Dynasty system rewards players for inviting friends and being active in-game to receive in-game benefits.

Price of Glory’s 1.9 update is out now for iOS and Android in select regions. More information on Price of Glory is available on the game’s website.
