Guild Wars 2

The Janthir Wilds has been out for three months now and that means it's time for the first free quarterly post-expansion release.

Guild Wars 2 latest expansion Janthir Wilds introduced an exciting new player housing feature known as Homesteads.

Happy Friday, Watchers, and welcome to our pre-expansion edition of "what to play this weekend." Not all of us dove directly into World of Warcraft: The War Within when early access opened.

The newest expansion for Guild Wars 2 is out later this month, and Janthir Wilds is bringing new maps, the exciting new Homestead feature, and giving all professions the use of the Spear, a weapon previously only available for some professions underwater.

Guild Wars 2 had their first beta for the Janthir Wilds expansion this weekend, a limited-time opportunity to test all the new abilities coming alongside the Spear for the game's professions.

This weekend Guild Wars 2 is beta testing the upcoming Janthir Wilds expansion, focusing on the new spear weapon type (now available for land-based combat) and its abilities across all professions.

Guild Wars 2's newest expansion is Janthir Wilds, which is set on islands long guarded by the wizards of the Astral Ward, giving us zones littered with the ruins of the fabled Mursaat along with more recent inhabitants such as the White Mantle.

Amidst the woes about the Diablo Immortal monetization model — which effectively allows players to buy their way to more character power — some players have grown concerned that a similar path could be laid out for the upcoming Diablo 4.

I’m away from my home PC this week, but that hasn’t stopped me from getting a little gaming in.

If you've been playing Guild Wars 2 for some time, you'll know that the Elder Dragons are the key motivator of the ongoing plot and that dealing with them is the core challenge facing the "commander" that players navigate throughout the world of Tyria.
