So we knew Guild Wars 2’s next big thing – the third entry in the four-part Visions of Eternity expansion was coming next week. We knew this because ArenaNet’s teaser-and-recap video last week said it and gave it a name, too. It’s called The Only Way. But today, we’re getting a more detailed trailer, not just a teaser, and much more concrete info on what exactly is in the quarterly release – including the new map and story.
“The launch story for Guild Wars 2: Visions of Eternity had players investigating a series of secretive Inquest voyages to the fabled island of Castora, a mysterious area rich with ley magic,” ArenaNet says. “Ancient secrets were unearthed. The island’s guardians were overcome. And the story now picks up with the Commander tasked with stopping Vloxx, the newly-elevated Inquest leader who thinks his machinations are for the good of Tyria. The next five chapters of the story in this update bring the Commander to the new map of Eternity’s Garden.”
Mechanics-wise, we’re looking at two new mastery tiers, six new relics, a PvP legendary and a WvW legendary, what sounds like more tinkering on the fashion template system, and a renewed Wizard’s Vault. “We’ll dive into each of these features in more detail next week,” the team says.
Note that you do need to own Visions of Eternity to access the new stuff. The newest trailer is below!
