I need your help here, Commander…
Next week, Guild Wars 2 is getting its next episode that will drive players deep into the Shiverpeak mountains where the Norn and Kodan keep watch against the scourge of the icebrood. The episode will launch Tuesday, Nov. 19, as teased and confirmed by MassivelyOP, and now there’s a haunting, beautiful trailer released by ArenaNet.
The trailer features a new snow-covered zone called “Bjora Marches,” which is the standard rock-and-ice strewn Shiverpeaks region. There will also be a new Raven Attunement mastery and an Essence Attunement mastery that appears to involve elemental forces.
A new weapon upgrade set has also been teased called “Ancient Boreal.”
We may also expect a new set of systems involving the Strike Missions introduced in the last episode. Three new bosses have been added that will rotate – including ice-themed monstrosities and an antlered bone-covered creature.
As the trailer wraps up, we see a strange, dead-green-god-styled creature made of bleached white bones and the skull of an antlered deer. Which is hinted at in whispers around campfires as Kodan and Norn in the region speak to such a monster dragging the unwary away into snow-hushed woods in the silence of wintery nights.
“In the distant reaches of the Northern Shiverpeaks, hunters stalk the long night. Whispers scratch at the minds of the Kodan and Norn who call these rugged mountains home, while sightings abound of an antlered beast dragging unsuspecting victims into the trees. As the Commander chases charr Imperator Bangar Ruinbringer deep into the mountains to stop him from trying to awaken the Elder Dragon Jormag, players will discover that one of the Vigil’s most distant mountain watch posts has been attacked and its inhabitants slaughtered, leaving none alive. What lurking foes have yet to reveal themselves?”
According to ArenaNet, there’s also going to be a “a campfire s’mores roasting kit.”
