Guild Wars 2 ‘Balance’ Living World Chapter Coming Out On March 9

guild wars 2 braham eirsson chapter 3 bannerChapter 3: Balance, the next chapter in fifth and final episode of the Guild Wars 2 The Icebrood Saga Living World narrative, is set to launch on March 9. The latest chapter will revolve around Braham Eirsson, a young Norn guardian who’s been a focal point of several Living World episodes and the Heart of Thorns expansion.

“Jormag is as deadly and corrupted as their twin, Primordus. There is no peace in this balance—only a terrible push and pull of opposing elemental magics, each laying claim to the unstable territory between them. Something must give, and you can only hope it’s something you can bear to lose.”

In the new story mission, players will take on the role of Braham in his journey to seek the meaning of the Owl Spirit’s prophecy and fulfill his destiny. Three new Dragon Response missions will also be available in Bloodtide Coast, Caledon Forest, and Fireheart Rise which have all been devastated by the Elder Dragons Jormag and Primordus.

Four new allied factions will also be arriving in Chapter 3, including the elusive Tengu faction. Players will be able to participate in bi-monthly global faction mobilization events to help equip their allies for battle. The first one kicks off on March 9, followed by March 23, April 6, and finally, April 20.

Episode 5: Champions kicked off in November last year with the release of Chapter 1: Truce, followed by Chapter 2: Power last January. Chapter 4: Judgement is expected to arrive in late April. As with previous Living World chapters and episodes, Chapter 3 will only be available to players with the Path of Fire expansion.
