Guild Wars 2 will soon explore the origins of End of Dragons villains
May 18, 2022 update: Guild Wars 2 Season 1 Episode 2 also now has a release date. Out on May 24, 2022, Sky Pirates brings back one of GW2’s defining moments. It hasn’t been available since 2013, when the Living World consisted of temporary content. And in this part of the story occur for the first time Captain Mai Trin and her Aether Pirates in action. This faction is still important today, after all it is an elementary adversary of our heroes in the End of Dragons expansion.
Return to the idyllic Löwenstein
The first publication of this episode is also a special journey through time, because it is partly set in the old Löwenstein of GW2. This city is no longer in the game today because it was destroyed during the course of the Living World. Here is the trailer from the original release from 2013:
Update April 19, 2022: After nine years, the first season of Guild Wars 2’s Living World is now playable again. At least in part, because starting today, April 19, 2022, “Flamme und Frost” will start. This content, which spanned weeks back in 2013, has now been re-released as an episode. Flame and Frost content has been reorganized to fit GW2’s modern episode format. Nevertheless, it should also be possible to finally do old successes from 2013 afterwards.
The return of season one doesn’t just bring old stuff, though. For example, there are also new weapon skins and armor parts that can be unlocked that fit the content of the episode thematically.
For example, in the first season of Guild Wars 2’s Living World, we met the Charr Rox.

Original from April 8, 2022: Who Guild Wars 2 (buy now €49.95) If you didn’t play in 2013, you missed some story content that is no longer found in the game. This so-called first season of Living World was part of a constantly changing game world – unlike the modern seasons of Living World, which are composed of repeatable instances and new areas. This is of course stupid for everyone who joined after 2013. Characters like Braham, Rox, Scarlet & Co. say little to you because the corresponding missions are no longer in the game. However, the new roadmap for 2022 has revealed the return of the Living World.
Changes to the first season of Living World in GW2
On April 19, 2022, we’ll regain access to the beginning of the story of the Fiery Alliance of Flame Legion and Dredge in the form of the episode “Flame and Frost”. The developers have now explained what they are changing when this content returns. So the whole thing will have a linear character with a fixed order of instances (back then content could be approached independently).
Arenanet’s “storytelling standard” has also changed. The developers say: “So we took this opportunity to revise some of the older text and add some background books to Episode 1 to meet our current standards and characterization needs.” (via arenanet)
On top of that, the April 19 update will also bring the first challenge mode for the Strikes in End of Dragons. The Aetherblade Lair is thus optionally made more difficult as the first attack mission. Are you more looking forward to this challenge mode or the return of the Living World?
