Guild Wars 2 Gears Up for the Origins of Madness

Guild Wars 2 is getting a new expansion to its “Living World” with the release of the Origins of Madness, which comes to the title on January 21.

The Origins of Madness sets up the finale of Guild Wars 2’s story, which began a year ago with the emergence of the villain Scarlet Briar, a twisted Sylvari engineer who unleashes her twisted machinations upon the world.

“As we announced back in December, we’re down to just four releases to go in the current storyline of living world,” said game director Colin Johanson. “The first of those four releases is nearly upon us, and we wanted to help take a moment and look back at the key moments that have brought us up to this point as a refresher before we dive head-first into countdown to the big finale.”
