The newest GW2 biweekly update arriving on Oct 15 is called Blood and Madness and will feature a return of the Halloween festival from last year along with some new additions.
Halloween is drawing near, and Magister Tassi’s instruments are picking up some unusual energy readings. The Mad King isn’t the only one breaking through the barrier between realms—prepare to face the son of Oswald Thorn, Bloody Prince Edrick!
