This game has received a PEGI 16 because it features the ability to purchase loot boxes. Not suitable for persons under 16 years of age. It also features moderate violence and use of bad language.
Fourth expansion for the role-playing game, Guild Wars 2, in which a new enemy from another world threatens Tyria and players must take to the skies to protect it.
Rating issues
Following changes to the PEGI rating criteria that took effect in June 2026, this title’s age rating has been updated to PEGI 16 because it includes loot boxes or other paid random items. These can be purchased with real money, and players do not know exactly what they will receive before purchasing. The game can still be played without purchasing these items.
Other issues
This game features moderate violence. Magic and weapons, such as swords, can be used against a variety of human and fantasy characters. Bright lights and magical effects appear when characters are hit, with numbers showing the amount of damage inflicted. When enemies are defeated, they fall to the floor and their bodies quickly disappear. When the player’s character is killed, they are able to respawn. No injuries are shown and reactions to violence are non-realistic, with little to no reaction.
There is use of bad language such as ‘arse’ and ‘bastard’.
This game offers players the opportunity to purchase in-game items, in the form of a currency (gems) which can be acquired via real-money transactions, or via exchange of the in-game currency (gold). These gems can be used to purchase cosmetic and aesthetic customizations, permanent convenience improvements (eg inventory extensions), temporary convenience improvements (eg boosters, one-time use level boosts), and a randomized reward box (the Black Lion Chest), which some parents or carers may want to be aware of. Parents, carers, or other responsible adults should check to see what is being offered before making any purchase on behalf of a child.
