Sorry E3, but there will be no Guild Wars 2 love for you at all. ArenaNet is snubbing the annual event for a more fan friendly venue, gamescom.
First up, let's take a little look at why GW2 will not be shown at E3.
And now, a look at what fans can expect at gamescom, being held August 19-22 in Germany.

First up, let's take a little look at why GW2 will not be shown at E3.
As the marketing guy, if I’m going to spend a boatload of money on a booth, videos, props, etc., I want to be able to share it with the folks who’ll geek-out on it the most - the fans! IMO, E3 could steal a page from gamescom, which is a combination of a civilized business/industry area and a showy exhibit hall that’s open to consumers. If they did that, E3 would be a no-brainer in my book.
And now, a look at what fans can expect at gamescom, being held August 19-22 in Germany.
This is the big one folks! I’m happy to announce that we will unveil the first public hands-on demo of Guild Wars 2 at gamescom in Cologne, Germany! If you want to be the first in your guild to play GW2 (and you’re in Europe), this is the show to attend. Naturally, we’ll have tons of ArenaNet staff on-hand, including studio head Mike O’Brien and German community manager Martin Kerstein, plus lots of cool activities.
