Guild Wars 2 to Offer Content Updates Every Two Weeks

ArenaNet is putting a lot of love and effort into the continued development of Guild Wars 2. Today, the studio announced plans to reduce the time between expansion updates from three weeks to two.

Speaking to Gamerzines, Lead Content Designer Mike Zadorojny said that the company is getting better with each of its release, in terms of how they budget, plan it out, and manage personnel, thus making it possible to release additional content more constantly and consistently.

“Now we have four full ‘Living World’ teams that are building these content updates, so that we can stagger releases and make sure that [developers] can decompress and get the quality time necessary to build a good design document before going back in and trying to implement it all over again.

“If we can push this, if we can add content every two weeks that is engaging to the players, then really it’s almost like a TV show at that point. It’s kind of stay tuned until next week for the thrilling conclusion of… That’s where our goal is, and it’s really fascinating when you have an entire studio dedicated to pulling off.”

The latest update to Guild Wars 2 added steampunk sky pirates. You can watch the trailer for that below.
