NCSoft and ArenaNet have today released Guild Wars 2: End of Dragons, the third expansion to the MMORPG.
A new trailer can be found below alongside details via ArenaNet. More information and screenshots for the game can be seen in its July 2021 reveal.
End of Dragons, the eagerly-awaited third expansion to the award-winning MMORPG Guild Wars 2, launches today on Windows PC. Introducing a plethora of exciting new gameplay features, an epic adventure set on the enigmatic continent of Cantha, and innovative ways to play collaboratively online with friends, End of Dragons will expand and enrich the vast, subscription-free online world of one of the most enduring and beloved PC games of all time.
End of Dragons will feature an all-new story set in Cantha, a multi-cultural land of magic and intrigue that was first seen in 2006’s Guild Wars Factions. This lush region dotted by islands and exotic architecture has been closed off and isolated from the rest of Tyria but will open its borders for the first time in over 200 years as players get the opportunity to discover its secrets. Thanks to a vast store of magical energy provided by the material known as dragonjade, Canthan technological achievements have transformed its tranquil beaches and temples into a mechanized center of industry. But the dragon cycle that has sustained the power of magic while blighting Tyria for ages is collapsing, and the secrets of the elder dragons will come full circle as players race to prevent a dire threat from destroying everything that Cantha has built.
“End of Dragons represents a multi-year expression of passion, talent, and creativity from the entire team at ArenaNet and NCSOFT,” said Amy Liu, Guild Wars 2 executive producer. “It’s been 16 years since players last got to explore Cantha, and we’re very excited to take that return journey with the community as we tell the next amazing chapter of the Guild Wars 2 story.”
End of Dragons will launch with a wide array of new content, including:
Other new additions in End of Dragons include the upgradeable settlement of Arborstone, a haven among the dark canopy of the Echovald Wilds that players can rebuild through the course of their adventure; a new Guild Hall they can decorate with their friends; and a new suite of third generation Legendary Weapons inspired by the iconic Elder Dragon Aurene, offering the ultimate heroic character reward.
To celebrate the launch, anyone who purchases a large beverage at participating Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s U.S. locations March 2-29, will get a special End of Dragons collector’s cup.
