“Repentance” Is Live

Following the events of “Godspawn,” the Tyrian Alliance is now aware of a looming threat hidden within the mursaat ruins deep in Janthir. In “Repentance,” the second of three major updates for Guild Wars 2®: Janthir Wilds™, you will venture even farther north into the Isles of Janthir, uncover unexpected perils, and end them before Tyria is endangered again. There’s plenty of new content to enjoy, so let’s dive into it!

A battle erupts in the Mistburned Barrens between the heroes of Tyria and ancient spirits.

What’s New?

In our previous blog, we explored the origins of Mistburned Barrens and how this fractured landscape came to be.

Here are the highlights from this update:

  • New Story Chapters
  • Raid Challenge Mode for Decima, Greer, and Ura
  • Greer, the Blightbringer, Added to the Mount Balrior 50-Player Convergence
