Free-to-play MMO Guild Wars 2 will soon be receiving its latest season of “Living World” episodic updates. It’s called The Icebrood Saga, and the opening instalment is set to arrive on 17th September.
The Icebrood Saga marks the start of a new storyline for Guild Wars 2, which, following on from the defeat of the Elder Dragon Kralkatorrik at the end of last season, gets underway as an ancient power stirs beneath the icy spires of Far Shiverpeaks.
Alongside the new story arc, Guild Wars 2’s latest season will introduce a variety of new features, including new boss creatures around Grothmar Valley and the Northern Shiverpeaks, plus 10-man boss encounters known as Strike Missions which, says developer ArenaNet, will “combine the group coordination skills of raids with the large-scale conflict of a Guild Wars 2 meta event”.
