As the new year unfolds, Guild Wars 2 players are in for a treat with the release of the second installment in Chapter 5 of The Icebrood Saga. Titled "Power," this episode promises to bring fresh challenges and content to the world of Tyria. Since the launch of Episode 1 in November 2020, players have been navigating the warfront, delving deeper into the looming terror that threatens their world.
The latest episode introduces four new Dragon Response Missions set in Thunderhead Peaks, Fields of Ruin, Lake Doric, and Snowden Drifts. These missions come with optional challenge modifiers, allowing players to adjust the difficulty to their preference. For those seeking a greater challenge, maxing out the difficulty can yield powerful loot.
Faction recruitment makes a comeback in this episode, with two new groups available for players to recruit. The first group will be accessible at launch, while the second group will arrive a few weeks later. Additionally, players can look forward to crafting a new second tier of the Dragonslayer weapons from Chapter 1.
"Power" aims to answer some of the questions raised in the first episode, "Truce," while adding a wealth of new content. The fiery destruction caused by a different Elder Dragon continues to spread, and players must summon more allies to their cause. The ongoing faction recruitment will be crucial in this battle.
If Tyria survives the onslaught, players will have the opportunity to showcase their spoils from Chapter 2. This multi-part finale, leading up to the Cantha expansion, will introduce a new craftable second tier of Dragonslayer weapons as more allies join the fight.
ArenaNet has stated, "Fire and furious apocalypse arrive in Tyria, threatening to tear the land apart, and the Commander's tenuous alliance with the icy whispers of Jormag will be tested like never before." Importantly, all four chapters of Episode 5 will be free for players who own Guild Wars 2: Path of Fire and log in upon its release. The third chapter, "Balance," is set to launch in March 2021.
Sharpen your swords and prepare to showcase your power before Episode 3 arrives in March. For more details or to grab Guild Wars 2, visit the official website.
