Guild Wars 2: Visions of Eternity Expansion Receives Update

ArenaNet has released its new quarterly update for MMORPG Guild Wars 2‘s Visions of Eternity expansion. The update adds a new raid, Guardian’s Glade, where groups of up to ten players can take on one of the Guardians of Castora, with an additional challenge mode version to follow in a few weeks. It also brings additional raid quickplay system improvements while reworking “Strike Missions” into the game’s raid system as raid encounters. Other new content includes new special objectives and rewards for the Wizard’s Vault, the ability for players to obtain special Endless Summer legendary ring, and the start of the game’s Lunar New Year festival.

Visions of Eternity sees players investigate rumors of an island rich with magic known as Castora. The Tyrian Alliance learns that a group of researchers known to cause danger around Tyria called the Inquest is in search of this island. Players set off on a new adventure to try and learn what the Inquest’s goals with the island are. The expansion includes two maps on the island of Castora, whose magics have warped the local flora and fauna.

Guild Wars 2 is set 250 years after the events of the original Guild Wars. It was originally released in 2012, becoming available on Steam in 2022, and currently has five expansions: Heart of Thorns, Path of Fire, End of Dragons, Secrets of the Obscure, and Janthir Wilds. The game and expansions are available as buy-to-play titles.
