Guild Wars 2: End of Dragons - A Digital Tour of New Kaineng City, the Jadepunk Heart of Cantha

gamerant.com:

February is a busy month for gamers, and Guild Wars 2 is getting in on the hustle and bustle with a brand-new expansion. End of Dragons is Guild Wars 2’s third full expansion pack, which will lead players back to the eastern-themed continent of Cantha. Formerly the setting of the original Guild Wars’ Factions expansion, Cantha has changed much in the past 250 in-game years, transitioning from an insular, traditional dynasty to a cutting-edge, cyberpunk empire fueled by magical dragon jade.

Game Rant had the opportunity to attend a digital tour of New Kaineng City, the capital of the Canthan empire. The new urban zone is a fusion of old and new, and it promises an experience unlike any other Guild Wars 2. Additionally, Guild Wars 2 showed off the Jade Bot — a companion players can collect in End of Dragons. This customizable jade-powered drone is as useful as it is adorable, and is the final Mastery track line End of Dragons.

For those who played Guild Wars: Factions, Kaineng City might sound familiar, but the metropolis visited in End of Dragons is anything but the place they remember. One hundred years ago, when the Elder Dragon Zhaitan rose from the sea, a tidal wave carrying hordes of its Risen minions wiped out most of the old Kaineng City in an event called the Zhaitan Disaster. In the century that followed, the survivors fled south of the zombie-infested ruins and built a new home — New Kaineng City.

Today, New Kaineng is a technological marvel of a city thanks to the Xunlai Jade Corporation, and the heart of its civilization. Jade-powered mechs wander the city, providing direction and protection, holographic projections of Ministry of Purity leaders
