Finally, explore the floating castleNCSoft has announced (https://www.guildwars2.com/en/secrets-of-the-obscure/) that their long-lasting MMORPG Guild Wars 2 will be receiving a fourth expansion. Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure will see players soaring through new maps high above the skies of Tyria with new updates to flight masteries. Veteran players will recognize the setting of this expansion: the Wizard's Tower. This tower has been floating in the sky since Guild Wars 2 was released and players will finally get to explore it.
Alongside the normal expansion updates such as new story content, quests, dungeons, and more, Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure will feature some exciting new combat options. Players will gain additional flexibility and playstyle diversity by equipping weapons that were previously exclusive to elite specializations. Furthermore, a new relic and rune system allows you to augment your build with special effects. Finally, all nine professions will gain access to a new weapon from the Guild Wars 2 armory. This will grant new skills and fighting styles to accompany the other combat system changes coming with the expansion. Fans anxious to try out the new combat changes will get a chance to do so this weekend during a combat beta test.

Continual updates after releaseGuild Wars 2 players have been disappointed with the lack of love their game has gotten recently. With the new expansion, NCSoft has planned new major content releases every few months. These updates will introduce new locations and rewards as the expansion continues to grow. Each update will expand its features and the story of Secrets of the Obscure.
While I have played Guild Wars 2, it's never stuck with me like Final Fantasy XIV (https://www.destructoid.com/final-fantasy-xiv-patch-6-4-launch-date-live-letter-recap/) or World of Warcraft (https://www.destructoid.com/world-of-warcraft-cross-faction-guilds-coming-in-patch-10-1-dragonflight/). That being said, I know the game has a huge devout player base that I'm sure is beyond ecstatic about this news. At the end of the day, no one likes to see their MMORPG die out like Wildstar or Sword of Legends Online (the latter of which is closing its servers for good on June 30, 2023). A big expansion is great news for the future of Guild Wars 2.
Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure will launch on PC on August 22.
