ArenaNet has announced its plans to bring a new event into the world of Guild Wars 2 this Christmas with the launch of Wintersday, which runs from December 14 to January 3.
The event, which was detailed on the game’s official blog, is described as celebrating the children of Tyria’s love for toys:
“The nights may be long and dark, but Tyrians of all races keep joy alive during the ancient holiday of Wintersday. While each race celebrates Wintersday in their own unique way, children all over Tyria share a common love of one thing: toys.
“This year the city of Lion’s Arch will host the asuran Toymaker Tixx as their special Wintersday guest of honor. Before Tixx arrives in Lion’s Arch in his massive airship toy workshop, he’ll visit every major city in Tyria to deliver Wintersday toys and holiday cheer.”
With the launch of the event, the city of Lion’s Arch will be decked with festive cheer and Christmas—or rather, Wintersday—décor to celebrate the event. Other areas in the game, like Zommoros’ Mystic Forge, has been transformed into a giant snow globe holding holiday activities.
The game will also see the addition of Wintersday PvP activities involving snowballs, and a musical activity in the Bell Maestro.
You can read the full timetable of the events at the official site.
