Developer Arenanet has announced that Guild Wars 2's "Shadow of the Mad King" event will be making a comeback this year, beginning on October 16th and continuing until November 6th. This Halloween-themed event is free to all Guild Wars 2 players and brings a number of exciting features to the game. You can read a summary from Arenanet down below.
- Reaper's Rumble: Playable for the first time since the original GW2 Halloween celebration – it's a fast-paced PvP format where players compete to recover pumpkins and spawn hordes of skeletons to attack the enemy team's base.
- Mad King's Raceway: New this year, the track was built on the same map as Reaper's Rumble that showcases the star mount of the current Living Story, the Roller Beetle.
- Three new weapons: These took inspiration from real world horror tropes: a syringe that functions as a dagger called The Cure, a lightning rod players can wield as a sword called Soul Conductor, and a butcher knife players can use as an axe called Revenge.
- Players who have completed Episode 3 of Season 4 of the living story can delve into the ancient rivalry between Mad King Thorn and Palawa Joko through a new collection achievement.
