- ArenaNet president was reportedly working on new Guild Wars game

Mike O’Brien, the co-founder and president of Guild Wars 2 developer ArenaNet, is leaving the company after 19 years, and is forming his own studio to "go back to the beginning and make small games again". Kotaku reports, via an anonymous source, that O'Brien is one of eight developers leaving the studio, and that collectively the team were laying the groundwork for a new Guild Wars game, potentially Guild Wars 3. A second source told the publication that Guild Wars 3 had not yet received the green light, but that O'Brien's work could have turned into a full sequel to MMO Guild Wars 2. In a post on the Guild Wars 2 website, O'Brien said that he'd moved away from the game two years ago to focus on new product development, but didn't say what he'd been working on.

"For the past two decades we’ve gotten to work with brilliant developers and advisors, we’ve enjoyed an amazing relationship with the Guild Wars community, and were able to pursue the games of our dreams," he said. "I’ve appreciated every moment of it. But the time has come for me to take a step back. Next week I’ll join some of my friends in forming a new studio. We’ll go back to the beginning and make small games again."

The original Guild Wars first came out in 2005. By MMO standards, it’s ancient. Two developers have taken it upon themselves to keep the game alive and, in the process, have figured out how to make it better than it’s ever been. Preserving old games is a monumental challenge in endless media avalanche year 2018. Doing so for massively multiplayer games whose best days are long behind them, though? That’s an entirely different sort of undertaking—less of an autopsy and more of a series of emergency surgeries on an elderly patient.

ArenaNet’s main game is Guild Wars 2, the massively multiplayer adventure that launched in 2012 and has received numerous expansions since then. A source who told Kotaku last week about pending departures at ArenaNet said that O’Brien is one of eight developers leaving the studio, and that collectively they amounted to the early development team for a new Guild Wars project, potentially Guild Wars 3. Another source close to the studio said that while a Guild Wars 3 had not been officially greenlit internally, the work of O’Brien’s team could have developed into such a sequel.

It’s unclear what this means in terms of any full sequels to Guild Wars 2 from ArenaNet, but it is another blow to a company that had managed to keep its MMOs alive long after so many other companies trying to do so had flamed out. In February, ArenaNet laid off more than 140 developers. The company rep said ArenaNet still employs about 200 and maintains Guild Wars 2 and its predecessor, the original Guild Wars.
