Players Will Test Their Mettle in New Raid and 50-Player Boss Encounter
BELLEVUE, WA – Nov 12, 2024 – The first expansion content release for Guild Wars 2: Janthir Wilds arrives with a series of titanic clashes against the primal forces of the wilderness. Launching on Tuesday, November 19 and titled Godspawn, this latest update will continue the story begun at launch. After coming face-to-face with the massive elemental beings known as titans, players will work with their Kodan allies to track down these behemoths to stop the chaos that looms over Janthir. A new legendary weapon, the Klobjarne spear, will give players six different possible looks for the blade as they jump into combat. Additionally, for the first time in five years, a new raid arrives in the game. Intrepid groups of up to 10 players will climb Mount Balrior to face off against the titans of Janthir in a challenging gauntlet of encounters that will reward them with some of the content’s marquee items and cosmetics.
Today ArenaNet released a launch trailer, which you can view here.
In addition, a new Convergence encounter will be added to the game. First introduced as a new activity in Secrets of the Obscure, the Janthir Wilds Godspawn Convergence allows up to 50 players to encounter a reinterpretation of the titan Decima, showcasing the large-scale, multi-objective PvE events Guild Wars 2 is known for. Outside of battle, the new Sea Wave Glass weapon set joins a suite of new relics to enhance character customization, while a refreshed season of rewards in the Wizard’s Vault includes the Rot Stalker skin for armor and boots. On the homestead front, new decorations and crafting recipes will be available for players to further customize their living space when they are not saving the world.
Godspawn is free for all players who purchased Janthir Wilds. Two more updates will follow over the coming months to conclude the expansion adventure.
