Så var vi alligevel ikke helt galt afmarcheret, da vi i forrige kunne fortælle, at en vaks Reddit-bruger havde spottet, at NCSoft havde varemærkeregistreret navnet “Heart of Thorns”. På weekendens PAX South messe kunne ArenaSoft så løfte sløret for en første udvidelse til deres Guild Wars 2 under navnet Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns. Det er indtil videre ikke mange detaljer NCSoft og AreaNet vil ud med, men de fortale i korte træk om det nye “Mastery-system” og muligheden for at specialisere sig (professions, traits, m.v.). Der er endnu ikke sat en dato på, hvornår vi kan vente os Heart of Thorns, men vi er klar med annonceringstraileren. Vil du også se den første “story-trailer”, kan du finde den på YouTube. Vi er klar med screenshots lidt senere i dag.
NCSOFT® and ArenaNet™, publisher and developer of the acclaimed Guild Wars franchise, today announced Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns™ as the first expansion to Guild Wars® 2. ArenaNet president and co-founder Mike O’Brien and game director Colin Johanson surprised thousands of fans packed into the PAX South Main Theater and many more tuning into the Twitch livestream from around the world with the announcement, unveiling a debut trailer and giving a presentation covering each of the core features the expansion would bring to Guild Wars 2.
ArenaNet laid bare the vision and philosophy behind Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns. Many of the new features the expansion brings to Guild Wars 2 represent a re-envisioning of progression in an MMO. That includes the introduction of a new Mastery system that lets players unlock and explore new abilities for max level characters, and a brand new Specializations system that gives them access to traits, skills and unique mechanics that transform their profession into something entirely new.
