There’s more to this update than a Halloween re-skin: Shadow of the Mad King also adds a number of new events accross the world, including Skritt thieves that players will have to chase down if they want to reclaim stolen treasure. There’s a set of new dungeons, including Vexa’s Lab, described by ArenaNet as a set of environmental puzzles inspired by M. C. Escher.
You’ll also be able to take on the Modus Sceleris, a guild of NPC troublemakers, and help the Durmand Priory track down anomalies as part of the quest to stop the Mad King himself.
Are you looking forward to jumping into Guild Wars 2 tonight, readers? If you’ve had a break since launch, is this update enough to tempt you back?
500 years ago, a tyrannical Krytan king was slain by his own people, those who had suffered greatly during his reign of lunacy. It is said that this king’s body was chopped into pieces, and his spirit was banished to the Underworld, but that he can return to the mortal realm for just one day a year: on Halloween.
Of course, that’s just an old folktale. Isn’t it?
It’s been 250 years since the last alleged sighting of Mad King Thorn’s spirit, and today, Halloween is safely celebrated by children (and merchants) all across Tyria.
But! Strange energies are rising under the autumn moon. Is there perhaps some truth to the old stories? Do you dare to find out what’s really going on?
