Guild Wars 2’s annual Shadow of the Mad King Halloween event will be returning next week as announced in ArenaNet’s final update roadmap for the fantasy MMORPG this year. The event will feature the usual round of Halloween-themed activities, including the fun but incredibly frustrating Mad King’s Clock Tower puzzle.

“Our beloved spooky season arrives in Tyria next week! Get your most frightening attire ready to terrify the masses,” the studio said. “Shadow of the Mad King is Guild Wars 2‘s annual Halloween festival that opens up the gates to the Mad Realm to welcome all Tyrian citizens. From October 18 to November 9, the veil between our world and the Mad Realm thins, and you may cross the threshold at your leisure. You must beware, though, dear reader… for the Mad King’s minions may do the same.”

Shadow of the Mad King officially kicks off on October 18th. Check out the new event trailer below for a preview of the spooky things to come.
