Thank you for playing the Xenotheria demo during Steam Next Fest.

Your support, feedback, and wishlists have been invaluable to us. Our team worked tirelessly to get this demo out, and we're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed it. We've received many compliments and useful feedback from our community, which will help us improve Xenotheria and make it the best game possible. After reading through the initial wave of feedback, we're currently strategizing on how we can improve elements such as the game's pace, variety of cards, addressing bugs, as well as other pieces of feedback as we continue working on the rest of the game.

There's still a lot of work to do before Xenotheria launches, but for now, we're celebrating this victory. Our team is proud of our accomplishments, and we're excited to continue our work on Xenotheria. If you have any additional thoughts or feedback, please fill out this form: Form Link

Thank you once again for your support and for playing the Xenotheria demo.

Until next time,

The rules are the same: log in to our Discord server, keep it running, play a competitive level, complete it with 5 stars and have fun!
Visit our Discord server (#lets-play-together channel) to learn more.

A new chapter in Tyria's story begins August 22 with the launch of Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure™, our newest expansion. Soon, you'll be soaring through new maps high in the skies above Tyria, testing your mettle against invaders from the Mists, and mastering new combat options. The adventure continues after launch, with major releases planned every few months that introduce new locations and rewards as they expand the features and continue the story of Secrets of the Obscure.

Visit the Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure official site for more details on the expansion features and story.


Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure is available for prepurchase! Pick it up right now through our official web store or from the in-game store, Steam, or official retailers.

Prepurchasing guarantees you the following three rewards: the Demon Hunter title, the Arcane Spellweaver's Hat Skin, and an Eagle Eye weapon skin of your choice. Your prepurchase rewards, as well as any items associated with the expansion edition you buy, will be distributed and available in the game once you apply your Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure registration code to your account. For full details on the items included with the Standard, Deluxe, and Ultimate Editions, visit the official store page.




Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure launches August 22, 2023, at approximately 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time (UTC-7). At launch, the first arc of the expansion's epic story, as well as two new maps, will allow players to explore the skies while putting many of the new gameplay features to the test. Major updates, coming out roughly once a quarter following the expansion, will continue the experience with additional story chapters, a new map, and more features and content.

To get a taste of what's in store, check out the Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure combat beta weekend, which runs from June 29 to July 2.


The Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure official page has an overview of the full expansion. To accompany today's announcement, we've shared further details on expansion combat systems, story and instanced content, and rewards. You can subscribe to our newsletter for important announcements and keep an eye on the official blog for the latest news!

Today, we're thrilled to announce Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure™, a new expansion launching on August 22. New features and content will arrive with the initial release and continue over nearly a year of additional feature and story updates.


If you read our February and May studio update blogs, you've heard us talk about updating our approach to development to provide more consistent updates for both the core game and expansion content. Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure benefits from this new approach. At launch, you'll be able to play through a self-contained story; following launch, this story will be seamlessly expanded upon in updates that come out every few months, telling a second, stand-alone arc.


The story of Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure represents the opening of a new chapter: the Elder Dragon cycle that dominated major events from the original launch through Guild Wars 2: End of Dragons™ has come to a close. In fact, today's game update includes a small scene to transition out of the End of Dragons storyline. This interlude brings us to a scenic overlook in Seitung Province, where one of our dearest comrades has some...bittersweet news to share.

In the quiet that follows, a new force rises to threaten Tyria. As you fight back against Kryptis invaders from the Mists, you'll uncover the answers to mysteries that have haunted Tyria from the time of the original Guild Wars®. Ancient rivalries come into play—the world is at risk. While we've relied on the aid of our allies in many adventures to date, it's time for you to find your footing in a darker, more mysterious side of the world.

Now that the cycle is "over," Tyria is blood in water. The Mists are watching.

Two explorable zones and the Wizard's Tower outpost, floating high above the Tyrian coast, will be available at launch. In the releases that will follow every few months, a third explorable zone will open in conjunction with the ongoing story that plays out.


The skyscale mount was first introduced in Living World Season 4, following Guild Wars 2: Path of Fire™, and it changed the way players navigate maps in Guild Wars 2. We love the freedom and movement options the skyscale offers—which is why we want to make sure it's readily accessible to as many players as possible. As a result, we're adding a new skyscale mount acquisition method with this expansion. Whether or not you own Guild Wars 2: Path of Fire or completed the original skyscale collection, Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure will grant you a more streamlined collection to unlock a skyscale of your very own.



Once you've unlocked the skyscale in Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure, you'll get access to a new skyscale skin collection. Completing that will award you a terrifying and beautiful Kryptis-themed skyscale skin.


Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure skyscale Mastery line includes new abilities, like the Fireball aerial attack you'll unlock at tier two. Some of the new Mastery tiers grant Guild Wars 2: Path of Fire Masteries; in those cases, players who have trained skyscale Masteries from both expansions will get a bonus functionality unlock. For example, the first tier of the Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure skyscale Mastery grants Air Rescue—the ability to mount in midair. If you've already trained Air Rescue with the Guild Wars 2: Path of Fire Mastery line, you'll now get Bond of Vigor every time you use Air Rescue.

*Names are subject to change.


Two additional Mastery lines will be introduced in Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure, both of which are closely tied to the expansion's story. As you fight off the ravages of the Kryptis, you'll make allies of the Wizard's Court and the Astral Ward—ancient protectors of Tyria who have been brought out of their seclusion by the Kryptis threat. Through your new allies, you'll gain access to a powerful artifact called the Heart of the Obscure.

With Kryptis forces pouring into Tyria through portals in the Mists, it falls to you and the Astral Ward to track down and close those portals—and deal with any Kryptis that have managed to pass through them. The Heart of the Obscure and Astral Ward Masteries will aid you as you hunt and close rifts throughout Tyria. Together, the two Mastery lines will allow you explore the world more freely, take on greater threats, and earn richer rewards.

The skyscale, Astral Ward, and Heart of the Obscure Mastery lines will all be available at launch on August 22. We're planning to introduce a fourth Mastery line in the first major release following launch.




Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure will bring new challenging content in the form of two new Strike Missions and a Fractal of the Mists, each with an accompanying challenge mode. Both Strike Missions will be part of the August 22 launch; their challenge modes will come out in subsequent releases.

As a side note: We'd be remiss not to mention that today's game update includes a new fractal that you can play right this very moment if you own Guild Wars 2: End of Dragons!

Today's announcement also included information on combat, system changes and rewards. We'll be back with more information about Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure between now and launch. Until then, check out the official page for more details and visit the official store to prepurchase.
