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!






In our previous blog, we explored the origins of Mistburned Barrens and how this fractured landscape came to be. We also delved into the lore of the mursaat, uncovering their influence on the world of Tyria. Now you can experience these stories firsthand with new content, challenges, and rewards. Here are the highlights from this update:

• New Map: Mistburned Barrens
• New Story Chapters
• Raid Challenge Mode for Decima, Greer, and Ura
• Greer, the Blightbringer, Added to the Mount Balrior 50-Player Convergence
• Raid Legendary Mode Added for Ura (Coming March 25)

• Many New Rewards, Including Minis, Armor, Weapons, and More

The latest rotation in the Wizard's Vault introduces a fresh lineup of must-have rewards. Elevate your relaxation with the Skysage's Throne, an elegant and celestial-inspired seat fit for the most distinguished adventurers. Meanwhile, the Wayward Wisp quest provides players with the opportunity to set forth on a new adventure—exclusive to the Wizard's Vault—that will have you engaging with a wisp that appears on its own whims and rewards players with a forest wisp accessory and infusion.

For those looking to bolster their defenses, the Ward Knight's gloves, shoulders, and boots offers a bold and sturdy look, ensuring you stand strong against any challenge. Meanwhile, the Old-Growth Weapons collection brings the power of nature into battle with intricate designs and an organic touch.




Starting March 11, you can earn exclusive Twitch Drops just by watching your favorite Guild Wars 2 streamers! Watch a total of five hours between 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time (UTC-7) March 11 to 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time (UTC-7) March 16 to unlock all available rewards.

Here's what you can earn:

• Mini Lion Cub
• Fuzzy Panda Hat Bundle, which includes the Fuzzy Panda Hat Skin, two Heroic Boosters, and an Upgrade Extractor
• Bag Slot Expansion

Don't miss out on this chance to add some adorable minis and useful items to your collection!






While the "Repentance" update is here, the adventure continues with a slate of exciting events on the horizon! On March 25, we're updating the final boss of the Mount Balrior raid, giving Ura a legendary mode that will test the skills of the most dedicated raiders.

Then, April is packed with thrilling festivities, starting with the Dungeon Rush event, where adventurers can push their limits and reap valuable rewards. Following that, the Super Adventure Festival returns with new rewards, bringing nostalgic fun and platforming challenges to all who dare to enter Moto's pixelated world.

May brings even more opportunities to dive into the action. Revisit past adventures in the Return to End of Dragons event, then sharpen your competitive edge with the PvP Rush event. If high-speed thrills are more your style, Roller Beetle Racing Week will let you test your racing prowess. Meanwhile, PvP enthusiasts can look forward to the PvP Push Beta, offering a glimpse at what's next for structured competition.





And beyond these events, another major update is on the horizon to close out the Janthir Wilds expansion. Stay tuned for more details, but here's a reminder of what's included in today's update and coming later in the third update!

We look forward to seeing you out there exploring Mistburned Barrens!

It's been almost a week since the game's launch, and we want to thank every single player for playing and sharing your experiences and feedback!

We take feedback seriously and have already released two hotfixes shortly after release. Now, we're excited to introduce our first minor content update, which includes Steam Leaderboards.


With the release of version 1.2.1, there will be three global leaderboards. After each successful round in either Target Rush or Zombie Mode, your score will be submitted to the global leaderboard. However, only your top score will remain on the list.

• Target Rush Score: The total score of a full Target Rush run. For example, if you've played three levels, the sum of those levels scores will be submitted to the leaderboard.
  
• Zombie Mode Score: Calculated the same way as the Target Rush Score.
  
• Score Per Minute: This leaderboard introduces a time element. Your total score for the current run will be divided by the sum of the run time.

Currently, difficulty only affects the points awarded for unlocking new weapons and maps (Easy 25% less, Hard 50% more points). This may change in the future to also impact leaderboards based on user feedback. The in-game leaderboard will be limited to 100 entries (50% above and 50% below the player entry). You can see the full leaderboard on Steam - Global Leaderboards.

Please note - you need to complete one successful round in corresponding game mode to get access to the leaderboards in game!

• Added integration for Steam Leaderboards.
  
• Added volume control in settings to lower zombie sounds.

We also need to mention that the demo will be taken down by the end of the month, as maintaining two builds consumes too many resources. You won't be able to start it from Steam anymore, but it will still be visible for uninstallation.



As mentioned, we take feedback seriously and are already working on new content for you to enjoy.

Step up and climb the ranks of the global leaderboard!

New / Adjustments:
-I implemented controller vibrations.
-When using a controller, the game will now show the icons (x,y,a,b,...)
-The Player will now only slide when running for at least 1 second.
-Now you can press "back" (b) on the controller almost anywhere in the menu to get back to the main menu.

The Machine expands, and so do your choices. Update 10 marks the first steps toward a less linear early game, giving players more side content and freedom to explore beyond the tutorial’s structure. This is just the beginning—future updates will build on this, opening up more pathways early on so players can engage with the game’s deeper mechanics sooner.

One major addition is unit-specific badges, a shift that makes certain androids and operatives stand out. Normally, all units are interchangeable—expendable, even—but now you can create heroes of your own making. These consumable badges, available at Intelligence Class 5, let you boost individual units with permanent enhancements… until they’re destroyed, of course. Alongside this, the Android Torpor action gives you a way to shelve units for later, ensuring your best assets aren’t wasted before their time.

Meanwhile, StreetSense and Scavenging Site filters make resource tracking smoother, debates with the wealthy have been rebalanced for a touch of realism, and Dual Handguns now actually pull their weight.

It’s a small step toward bigger changes, with more on the way. The Machine shifts—where you take it from here is up to you.

"The past is but the beginning of a beginning, and all that is and has been is but the twilight of the dawn." — The Discovery of the Future, H.G. Wells

The Machine shifts, recalibrates, and occasionally acknowledges your existence. Every change—whether it’s untangling targeting logic, adjusting enemy behavior, or ensuring the correct volume of existential dread—comes from the feedback you provide.

Keep sharing your thoughts, and if you haven’t yet, leave a Steam review—your words help determine what this world becomes.

[expand type=details expanded=true]

• Early Contemplations & Dog Rescues: Contemplations now unlock much earlier in Chapter One, and the ability to rescue dogs has been moved up as well.
  
• Bulk Android Squads & Converted Units: Now provide clear feedback when attempting to load them into transports, noting that it's not possible and why.
  
• Permanent Unit Badges: Consumable items have been added that grant permanent badges to individual units, enhancing them beyond their usual capabilities. However, these upgrades do not apply to unit types—if the specific unit dies, the badge is lost.
  
• Intelligence Class 5 Badge Unlocks: Upon reaching Intelligence Class 5, the first four badge-granting consumables become available: Sprinter, Wizard, Wall, and Intimidating Shadow.
  
• Android Torpor (StreetSense, Intelligence Class 5): A new Android Torpor action allows players to put an android into a hidden sleep for a mild, non-renewable cost. This preserves the unit for later use, particularly useful for units with badges that would otherwise be lost.
  
• People-Watching Debates: Wealthy citizen debates have been rebalanced based on player feedback.
  
• Dual Handguns Rebalanced: Now scale twice as strongly as regular handguns. Thanks to Pingcode for suggesting and implementing this.
  
• StreetSense & Scavenging Site Lens Filters: Resource filters for the StreetSense lens have been split into sub-filters, and the Scavenging Sites lens now includes filters—both based on player requests.
  
• Unit Scrapping List Order: Now matches the Forces sidebar, ensuring a sensible unit order.
  
• Expanded Inspect Mode: Holding Ctrl now allows you to inspect buildings in any lens, rather than just in Versatile and Structures.
  
• Quick Equipment & Filtering Shortcuts: Ctrl-clicking a unit type button in Command Mode now jumps directly to the equipment screen for that unit type. Ctrl-clicking a building type in Build Mode now filters by its internal robotics. Ctrl-clicking a resource in the Ledger, main resource view, or top-left game header now jumps directly to its Input/Output report. If no data is available, the screen will be skipped.
  
• Ledger & Input/Output Report Improvements: The Ledger now includes salaries, TPN usage, and other non-job-related expenses/incomes that were previously missing. The Input/Output Report now displays all expenses and incomes, including deals, making resource tracking more comprehensive.
  
• Ignoring Reports Made Clearer: The option to ignore Ledger and TPS reports is now more clearly displayed in their tooltips.

• Slum Tower Clearance Fix: Completely clearing all slum towers in the city no longer blocks two specific projects.
  
• Unit Mouse Collider Adjustments: The mouse collider size for War Raptors and Parkour Bears has been adjusted to not be oversized.
  
• AOE Attack Fix: AOE attacks hitting your units as secondary targets will no longer cause NPCs to appear in the “attacks planned against your units” list.
  
• Autosave Purging Update: Autosave purging is now sorted based on date and time instead of in-game time, ensuring proper save management when loading older savegames.
  
• Microbuilder Mini-Fab Message Fix: The "damaged buildings" repair spiders message now only appears when buildings are actually damaged by enemies, rather than when first constructing a Microbuilder Mini-Fab.
  
• Exception Fixes: A handful of player-reported exceptions have been fixed.
