ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
What happens when the community puts on its detective hat while developers keep things locked behind closed doors? In Episode 11 of GW3 Frontier, we break down the latest weekly playable race rollouts and the growing speculation surrounding Gamescom 2026.
We check in on the newly detailed Kodan race spotlight, looking at how these southbound, modern-leaning bearkins fit into the Orrian golden age. Then, we dive into the buzz coming out of Cologne, Germany: while NCSOFT keeps Guild Wars 3 strictly confined to B2B areas, unconfirmed rumors, community leaks, and whispers of behind-closed-doors playable demo viewings have the subreddit in a frenzy. Plus, we touch on community side-chatter, including player wishlists like Mabinogi-style cross-species mounting mechanics.
