WHAT’S NEW IN THE BIGGEST GAMES
GUILD WARS 2
Let’s check in with Secrets of the Obscure.
By Phil Savage
Last year, ArenaNet announced a new direction for Guild Wars 2. Smaller expansions, but released more frequently—each one rolling out in stages across the course of a year. Secrets of the Obscure, the fourth expansion, was the first to be released under this new structure. It came with two open world maps, a couple of new endgame strike missions and a handful of new features. It also came with a roadmap detailing the rest of the expansion, with a new part planned each quarterly update.
In many ways then, we’re still only three quarters of the way through SotO’s launch. Still, I’ve seen enough of it now to get some sense of how well this new direction is working.
