Guild Wars 2’s Highly-Awaited End Of Dragons Expansion Finally Gets A Launch Date
After months of teasing, testing, and reveals, Guild Wars 2’s much-awaited End of Dragons expansion finally gets a release date. The expansion officially arrives on February 28th will take players on a journey to the ancient continent of Cantha and will introduce nine new elite specializations, boats, fishing, and a new siege turtle mount among others.
“End of Dragons is the third expansion for the game and will take players to the mysterious continent of Cantha, a region of the world shrouded in secrecy and intrigue for more than 200 years. On their journey, players will discover the secrets behind the mysterious substance known as dragonjade and its ability to power the unique technology of Canthan civilization.
New horizontal progression options for gameplay include the addition of fishing, skiffs – multiplayer sailing vessels available for groups of five players – while the game's first co-operative combat mount, the siege turtle, will provide new gameplay possibilities for traversal and combat with a friend. On top of nine new elite specializations that change the core gameplay of each of the game's professions, Guild Wars 2's defining large-scale, open world events will return throughout the game's verdant new map areas, providing for near immense replayability. In addition to the new gameplay possibilities, a brand new story will take players on an epic adventure across the continent and introduce new characters to the Guild Wars 2 cast who will shine a light on some of the oldest enigmas around Tyria's elder dragons.”
