Guild Wars 3 isn’t the only new Guild Wars on the way: ArenaNet just announced a Guild Wars card game

ArenaNet, in collaboration with NC, has announced an official Guild Wars card game titled Mistbound, which follows the recent announcement of Guild Wars 3. Mistbound is developed with bilibili and features a dynamic 5x3 tactical grid for gameplay, allowing players to modify character attributes and reposition units and commanders turn by turn. It aims to simplify card game complexity by expressing strategic depth through battlefield mechanics rather than individual cards. The game will include various mechanics such as knockbacks and flanking maneuvers, and will feature beloved characters from the Guild Wars universe as commanders. The development emphasizes community engagement, incorporating player input, and there are expectations for the game to evolve into an esport. A specific release date has not been announced, but it may debut late this year or in 2027.

ArenaNet confirmed that the development of Guild Wars 3 will not end support for Guild Wars 2 or the original Guild Wars, as both will continue to receive updates "for the foreseeable future."

Players can expect a slight slowdown in new content for Guild Wars 2 as the focus shifts to Guild Wars 3, but several smaller updates are planned, including an optimization pass, a revival of the Hall of Monuments system, and an updated version of the Zhaitan fight. Guild Wars 2 will continue to receive expansions even after the launch of Guild Wars 3.

Not just for AI agents: Nvidia’s RTX Spark means Arm-powered laptops for gamers, too, promising 100 fps at 1440p in the latest games

Nvidia has introduced the N1X CPU, integrated into the RTX Spark SoC, marking its entry into the laptop SoC market. The RTX Spark features up to 20 Grace CPU cores and 6144 RTX Blackwell GPU cores, supporting up to 128 GB of unified LPDDR5x memory. Major manufacturers like Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft, and MSI are expected to release over 30 laptops and around ten desktop models with this technology. Nvidia's Aevermann described the RTX Spark as "the most efficient PC chip ever built," designed for both computing and gaming. Nvidia plans to introduce mini PCs powered by the RTX Spark chip this autumn, with companies like Acer, Asus, and Gigabyte preparing systems. The RTX Spark's custom Arm architecture requires Windows-on-Arm, raising performance concerns due to reliance on Microsoft's Prism emulator. Nvidia is collaborating with game developers to ensure compatibility and performance, focusing on optimizing popular games and integrating anti-cheat software.

I’m obsessed with a guy who keeps soloing Elden Ring Nightreign’s hard mode over and over like they’re trapped in a purgatory of their own making

Eauvni is a YouTuber known for playing Elden Ring Nightreign, focusing on the Sekiro-parrying Executor character and exclusively tackling the Deep of Night mode. They have recently concentrated on Depth Three of Five, where the difficulty increases significantly, with enemies dealing double damage. Despite reaching Depth Five, eauvni prefers to engage with earlier depths and has developed mathematically perfect relic builds for every character. They have achieved notable feats, including a no-damage run against challenging bosses. The gameplay experience contrasts with that of other players, who often feel overwhelmed by the game's challenges. The upcoming Tarnished Edition patch for Elden Ring raises concerns about the potential impact on game balance and the thrill of encounters.
