Preorder in Five Steps
- Confirm the base game. Afterlife needs Guild Wars Reforged — the Reforged Requirement shows what qualifies and how to check.
- Choose your store. Steam (app 5149500) or the official Guild Wars store; the DLC supports PC, Steam, iOS and Android at launch.
- Verify the price. $23.99 preorder (regional variation applies) versus $29.99 after launch.
- Preorder. The purchase registers the DLC to your account for launch-day access.
- Note the bonus. The Vestments of the Order costume is included — claim details on the Preorder Bonus.

Should You Preorder? A Decision Aid
Preorder if...
You already own Reforged, know you will play in January, and value the 20% saving plus costume.
Wait if...
You are new to the original Guild Wars, want launch reviews first, or are unsure about the Worth It for you.
No public playtests exist, so there are no early verdicts to consult — only official materials. Decide accordingly.
Common Questions Avoided Elsewhere
Refunds follow your store’s standard policy (Steam’s usual rules apply to the DLC). Editions beyond the single standard-plus-preorder setup have not been announced — there is no deluxe tier to upsell you. Launch-day unlock times are unpublished.
