Guild Wars: Factions is a 2006 role-playing game developed by ArenaNet for PC, serving as the second standalone entry in the Guild Wars series. Set in Cantha, an empire defined by political conflict and bureaucratic tension, the game centers on the struggle against Shiro and his Afflicted forces, an ancient evil threatening the region's survival. Players navigate this hostile environment while managing the faction-based political landscape that shapes the story. As a standalone release, Factions introduces a new world distinct from the original game, along with new mechanics and additional character professions not found in its predecessor. The game supports multiplayer, allowing players worldwide to engage in both cooperative and competitive play. It retains the series' hallmark approach of blending strategic combat with role-playing progression across an online environment.
Two hundred years ago, the Betrayer, Shiro Tagachi, transformed the lush continent of Cantha into a devastated landscape of stone forests and crystalline seas. Now, in a land torn asunder by war, who you fight is as important as who you serve. While Kurzicks and Luxons battle for ever-decreasing resources, a horrible plague threatens the very existence of an empire still reeling from the betrayal that nearly destroyed it two centuries earlier.
