The release of each new episode of Guild Wars 2‘s The Icebrood Saga instantly means two things: good stuff for fans of ArenaNet's MMORPG, and taking a big breath whenever you want to tell the title to a friend. Guild Wars 2: The Icebrood Saga Episode Four, Jormag Rising, is the upcoming expansion, which is due to be released on July 28.
In order to play Jormag Rising, you must have previously purchased the Guild Wars 2 expansion Path of Fire. You'll get the new update if you log in after purchasing Path of Fire, and you also receive another expansion, Heart of Thorns, free. Sounds like a great deal.
Since a trailer speaks louder than words, you can watch Jormag Rising's announcement trailer below. Furthermore, here are some of the things what Jormag Rising brings:
- A brand new section of the Drizzlewood Coast to explore and control
- A new, map-wide meta event that culminates with players directly confronting Jormag’s sinister power
- New upgrades to the United Legions Waystation mastery that will grant new skills like the medi-zooka, a support tool for your allies in the heat of battle, and the ability to navigate the shifting intrigue of the charr conflict with a stealth action for mounts
- Upgraded versions of two previously-released weapons: the Charged Stormcaller set and the Empowered Boneskinner set
- A Frost Legion Infusion for your character to fit in with the chilly Frost Legion
- An upgraded “shiver” emote
