ArenaNet and NCSOFT have released Guild Wars 2's “Super Adventure Box”, which turns the world of Tyria into a 1980s-style videogame. The Super Adventure Box introduces players to a 3D land of pixelated rabbits, giant mushrooms and retro-electronic music.

You can access the "Super Adventure Box" by visiting Moto, a crafty asuran inventor, in the asuran capital of Rata Sum.

“It started out as a fun side project idea”, laughed Colin Johanson, Game Director at ArenaNet.“Originally, we were going to have a laugh with a fake 8-bit update, but the more the team worked on it the more we realised we had something really cool on our hands. We figured; the gaming community are really going to love this, let’s expand on the concept of the Living World in Guild Wars 2 and make it for real”.

“We’ve turned the clock back 30 years”, joked Daniel Dociu, ArenaNet’s multi award-winning Art Director. “With retro-style videogames such a part of the Zeitgeist, we’re excited to marry Guild Wars 2’s cutting-edge gameplay with childhood nostalgia. The results are hilarious!”
