Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns – Expansion Announcement Trailer

Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns is the first expansion for Guild Wars 2. Founded on the idea that the journey is the goal, the Heart of Thorns expansion continues the Guild Wars 2 tradition of challenging the conventions of MMOs to fulfill the promise of what online worlds should be.

3 years later... running around the jungle on a mount :D

To anyone saying "No new map":
They are giving us new maps, the region 'Heart of Maguuma' will have multiple maps and 3 different biomes!

[MitchJanssen]

Jesus christ i'm never reading comments again. They are such buzz-killing shit comments ALWAYS.

[mitiadim]

Best MMO ever tried, great awesome game.

[MoahGentle]

Guild of Wars 2 is so far the most beautiful and immersive mmo i have ever seen.

[drolzak]

This Expansion is still my favourite, the music, the map layout, the ambiance, it's all so well connected.
Path of Fire felt a bit lacking with these concepts, but it made up with the mounts I guess.
I do hope End of Dragons will deliver on the above mentioned.

Just rewatched the trailer and I must say that I like that scrapped version of Tarir better. Seems way more spacious and detailed. For me actual version is a bit...empty.

[Zakading]

Was kind of hoping we'd get to visit Cantha or Elona, not more of the jungle...
I miss those continents. The Canthan wilds were amazing (just image the jade sea with the updated graphics) and Elona's vibe felt great.

[Achaerion]

Still get shivers down my spine when I see this as a long time Guild Wars player from Prophecies to Guild Wars 2 Path of Fire!

[Djalmanac]

So, um? Where do I throw my money?  For some reason It doesn't work when I toss it at the screen, the cents just bounce back and hit me in the face ;_;

[Omeganoid]

My almost-3-years-of-playing-GW2 has made my time worth. As a gamer of course.

Haha, take that for players who left or bored for GW2 because: "Oooh this is boring~! Guild Wars 2 is garbage~!".

[wohbot]

One day and people are already complaining. At least give them a chance to reveal ALL of the aspects of the xpac.

[Noirissime]

coming from the icebrood saga announcement, it hurts to see how good the HoT announcement was back then...

[ClayMann]

I don't play this game but I'm tempted with the current discount, what I'm really liking here is the sheer positive buzz going on, I was starting to think any new game would be shit on after last years run of hate everything AAA. Not even the indies escape the wrath of social media anger. So yeah, nice to see people actually looking forward to an add on and praising and recommending the main game. 

[serenawyr]

I don't know if it was answered in the stream or not, but we all have one big question: Price? Do we purchase it on top of GW2, or is it just rolled into it?

I've got no problem paying for it, cause this looks AWESOME

[danikmoroz]

Omg, i just've discovered GW2 for myself like 1 month ago. Finished HoT -> LWS3 and about to start path of fire. It's good. Randomly YT decided to show me this trailer and it is just awesome. Can not even imagine how it felt when it originally was announced and launched!

[narcissusfullofhimselfsius]

"man, this game was really cool but it got old fast. I doubt I'll ever come back to it"

"Ok I'm in"

[Justlivinganotherday]

It's here! It's finally here!!! Thank you so much for making this! From what I can tell this expansion will have a lot to offer, and it looks absolutely incredible.

[funtagekille]

why are people complaining about a new race do you even know how hard it is too put a new race in with the story and stuff and that is only a small piece of it (i hope they will do it tho) but im allready really happy that they put new professions in ;)

huge jungle area? im in!
Time to show off your graphics guild wars, love green maps in video games (uncharted!)
Really excited to get back into the game, expansions always invigorate me to do so.
