Guild Wars 2: The Icebrood Saga – Whisper in the Dark Episode Live

Whisper in the Dark, the latest episode of Guild Wars 2’s ongoing Icebrood Saga, is now live. The update expands ArenaNet’s MMORPG with a new map to explore, new masteries to learn, new rotating missions to undertake, and more. You can find the complete patch notes on the game’s official forums and read a quick overview of the new features below:

An urgent message from Almorra Soulkeeper summons you deeper into the Far Shiverpeaks, where you and your allies must stand together against the storm. But the howling wind can make any light flicker, and the cold eats at every heart. In this desolation, the voice that rings truest is the one inside you.

New Map: Bjora Marches
A lonely land swept by blizzards and infested with creeping terrors. Jora’s Keep may be the only refuge from the storm—if it can stand.

New Masteries: Raven Attunement
Bond with swift and clever Raven, a Spirit of the Wild, and use his blessing to open locks, pass through gates, and shield yourself with his light.

New Masteries: Essence Manipulation
Learn to collect the essences of resilience, valor, and vigilance, then target enemies’ weaknesses and hit them where it hurts.

Weekly Rotating Strike Missions
Test your strength in three strike mission encounters against legendary Fallen, Aberrant, and Svanir abominations.

Upgradeable Ancient Boreal Weapons
Restore this tarnished and timeworn armory to its former glory.
