Guild Wars 2 is a massively multiplayer online RPG that first launched in August 2012. The popular MMO takes place in the fantasy world of Tyria and follows the re-emergence of Destiny’s Edge, a disbanded guide dedicated to fighting the Elder Dragons. Guild Wars 2 is unique in the genre as it features a storyline that is strongly influenced by the actions of players. This is something that is common in single-player games but not often seen in MMOs.
The first Guild Wars game distinguished itself from the competition by its lack of subscription fees, with Guild Wars 2 continuing the tradition. Guild Wars 2 was originally available through purchase and sold over 5 million copies of the game by August 2015 when it became free-to-play. In August 2021, over 16 million accounts have been created since the sequel’s launch in 2012.
According to Guild Wars 2 developers, the End of Dragons expansion will allow players to “Explore new lands, unlock new ways to play, and take your first steps toward Tyria’s future in the third expansion for the award-winning MMORPG Guild Wars 2. Customize your characters’ professions with nine new elite specializations, raise your own combat-ready multiplayer siege turtle mount, take your skiff out to reel in a big catch, and more!”
Guild Wars 2 is available to play on PC and its third expansion, End of Dragons will launch to all players on February 28, 2022.
