This weekend during PAX South, ArenaNet announced Heart of Thorns, the first expansion to Guild Wars 2, unveiling its trailer, some images and giving information on the core features the expansion will bring to the MMO.
"We're thrilled to bring Guild Wars 2 fans their first expansion with Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns", said Mike O'Brien, ArenaNet president and co-founder. "The features we'll be introducing with this expansion have the potential to once again move the MMO genre forward. Guild Wars 2 defied MMO conventions in the way people play together and experience an ever-growing online world. In the same vein, Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns will challenge the way that expansions traditionally treat endgame progression, and it'll introduce new feature sets and content that reinforce our mantra that the journey itself is the goal in the way players experience and immerse themselves in an MMO."
Heart of Thorns will continue the storyline unfolded through the game's Living World updates. The storyline has players and the game world of Tyria facing off in a war against the Elder Dragon Mordremoth and his growing hordes.
The expansion will introduce a new Mastery system that allows players to unlock and explore new abilities, a new Specializations system that gives access to traits, skills and unique mechanics. It will also bring a new profession called the revenant that channels powers from Guild Wars' legendary heroes. It will add new open world areas, new bosses and new group content. And it will also bring to the game a new PvP mode, Stronghold, a new World vs World map and guild halls.
