As I live and breathe, I do believe that I will see Shing Jea Monastery again…! Back in March 2020, ArenaNet confirmed that they’re working on a third expansion.
Then on August 25th, 2020 (Guild Wars 2’s 8th birthday), they released a trailer listing 2021 as the launch date. Not much else is known about the expansion at this point, but long-time fans will recognize some familiar territory. Nostalgia, be still. There are still many months to go.
Other news for November of this year involve a Steam release. Although this may be very cool news to people who love sharing on Steam, veteran players who launch from GW2 directly should be wary. There is no way to convert existing accounts, so if you have characters that you’re dearly attached to it’s best to stick with your current launch client.
Also, there are underwater mounts! Can’t speak from personal experience yet, but it looks like a good way to bypass those pesky nagas.
