The Living Story in Guild Wars 2 has taken players through some great new content. Easily the most exciting and enjoyable of this content has been the clockwork horror invasions of the forces of Scarlet Briar. Time limits, hordes of enemies, loot for the money-hungry, and unique item skins all combined with a bit of actual storyline that actually matters to the world of Tyria itself. As exciting as the events were, Scarlet herself managed to avoid capture throughout it all, implying strongly that we would see more of her soon.
Soon appears to be defined best as ‘very’.
The update, coming on October 1, 2013, will be called the Twilight Assault and it will be bringing players to one of my personal favorite places in the game, Caledon Forest. Caithe is worried about some disturbing things she has seen in the forest, and is calling for players to look into it.
It all looks to be a new level 80 dungeon for everyone to enjoy with guards, traps, and a big monster at the end. The preview video strongly implies Scarlet is behind whatever this monster is, so be ready for Guild Wars 2’s newest villain to make another appearance.
Keep your eyes peeled for more information about the Twilight Assault!
