In Guild Wars 2, there will be a new expansion called “Heart of Thorns”. Here is the trailer for it.
The expansion for Guild Wars 2 is live and was just announced a few minutes ago (January 24; 6:15 PM) live. An impressive trailer was shown during the live stream. The main character is Rytlock. He had disappeared into the “Mists” during the storyline of GW2 to search for his incredibly powerful sword.
What he experienced in the Mists has remained hidden from players so far. However, he was seen wearing an eyepatch and a completely unknown armor. During our exclusive giveaway of GW2 T-shirts, Rytlock served as the motif. It was already said then that he would play an important role in the next chapter of GW2, and that is set to be proved true.
With the launch of the expansion “Heart of Thorns”, Rytlock will return from the Mists heavily scarred and become the progenitor of a new class. He will be the first Revenant in Guild Wars 2.
This new class is supposed to wear heavy armor and summon the legends of the past from Guild Wars to gain new abilities. They command otherworldly powers.
The official trailer for the “Heart of Thorns” expansion from GW2 was released shortly after the event. We have embedded it directly above.
And for those who discover classes in the trailer wielding weapons that they technically should not be using: That is one of the new features of the expansion. There are new specializations (so to speak, secondary classes) that grant access to weapons that were previously forbidden to the classes: For example, the Ranger will wield a staff as a Druid, and the Necromancer will be able to use a greatsword.
P.S.: We know that “Revenant” sounds funny and the mythological “Revenant” is often spelled with “ie”. But GW2 has opted for this spelling. And it is indeed possible.
