Mobile, verified November 5, 2026. Guild Wars: Afterlife is confirmed to launch on iOS and Android — alongside PC and Steam — on the planned date of January 13, 2027. The DLC rides the Guild Wars Reforged client, whose October 22, 2026 update improved the mobile virtual joystick.
What Is Confirmed for Mobile
- Platforms: iOS and Android, day one with PC
- Same DLC: Xotecha, the Unformed, skill drafting, co-op — one feature set
- Base requirement: Guild Wars Reforged on your mobile device (Reforged Requirement)
- Active development: Reforged’s latest update (October 22, 2026) tuned the virtual joystick — the mobile path is being actively maintained
Controls: What the Updates Tell Us
The only official control facts are Reforged’s: the October 22, 2026 update improved the mobile virtual joystick. Nothing is published yet about Afterlife-specific mobile UI — dungeon targeting, drafting screens, party controls on a phone. Those get documented from real devices after launch; the iOS & Android carries device-level detail.
Playing the Unformed on a Phone: Honest Expectations
A change-every-run dungeon with mid-run skill drafting is UI-heavy by design. Whether mobile comfortably hosts that loop is exactly the kind of question only launch can answer — we will not pre-judge it. If mobile is your primary device, the Steam exists as the known-good reference platform, and accounts carry across the same platform set.
