Guild Wars 2 Looks Back On 2019 And Teases What’s Coming In Q1 2020

guild wars 2 auric span 2v2 bannerAs ArenaNet signs off for their annual holiday break, the studio looks back at what Guild War 2 players have achieved during the past year which includes rocking out to almost 10,000 Metal Legion concerts, cooking nearly 1,000,000 ascended meals, participating in over 200,000 mount races, and getting knocked out 63,000,000 times, and of course, getting back up the same number of times.

“In 2019, you brought down Kralkatorrik, defeated Qadim the Peerless, attended the biggest charr party ever as a guest of honor, and faced treachery in the Far Shiverpeaks. You’ve befriended skyscales, bonded with Raven, tackled four Strike Missions, and kicked back at festivals throughout the year.”

The studio also promises to continue the monthly update cadence into the first quarter of 2020 starting with a revamped Lunar New Year event with new activities and rewards coming after the devs come back from their holiday break. “Historically, this celebration has been smaller,” says Content Designer Joe Kimmes, “but this coming year we’re taking the first steps to bring it to parity with its fellow Tyrian holidays.”

A major PvP and Word vs. World balance update is also slated for release in the first quarter of 2020 along with a new type of content for the Living World called Visions of the Past which should give players a different perspective on the young Charr Champion, Ryland Steelcatcher.

“Scry into the past and witness what life is like as a member of Ryland’s elite Steel Warband. Armed with the finest charr technology, the group will head into deadly snowstorms, dwarven ruins, and even explore the Darkrime Delves.”

Lastly, Episode 2 of the Icebrood Saga “Shadow in the Ice” will be coming out on January 28th. Check out the teaser video below. You can also head over to the Guild Wars 2 official site to learn more.
