The first beta for Guild Wars 3 will be in fall 2027, but there's no release window announced yet. For reference, the first closed beta tests for Guild Wars 2 began less than a year before it launched. It's hard to say if we should expect the same timeline for Guild Wars 3, but in its breakdown on what to expect for the future of Guild Wars 2 (more on that below), ArenaNet mentioned a time frame of "the next 18 months," referring to improvements it would be making to GW2 before GW3. That would put us in December 2027, which is still pretty soon after the first beta tests are supposed to begin
