gamerant.com:

Guild Wars 2 is riding high after the success of End of Dragons, its third major expansion pack. In a recent press release, Guild Wars 2 revealed its current plans for the MMORPG through summer and early autumn, with the next content patch right around the corner.

ArenaNet’s studio update for July provided a roadmap for the next couple of months in Guild Wars 2. In addition to long-term goals throughout the summer, it provided information about its next update going live on July 19th and teased an appearance at Gamescom.

First and foremost, Living World Season 1’s third episode, “Clockwork Chaos,” arrives in the upcoming patch. Scarlet Briar makes her bombshell debut on the scene and establishes herself as a major threat to Lion’s Arch and the world at large. The new episode will be permanently free for all players, as is the rest of Living World Season 1 in Guild Wars 2.

Guild Wars 2 is also adjusting several game mechanics across the title. Several low-level world bosses from the original zones–the Great Jungle Wurm, Shadow Behemoth, Svanir Shaman Chieftain, and Fire Elemental–will have their mechanics revamped for the first time in 10 years by using new systems and design philosophies to improve them. Additionally, Guild Wars 2 is adjusting raid rewards and combinations of Fractal Instabilities in a continued attempt to make endgame content more approachable.

That’s not all Guild Wars 2 has planned. August 2nd marks the beginning of the Festival of the Four Winds event and adds the Kralkatorrik Legendary Weapon skins and a balance update. The fourth episode of Living World Season 1 drops on September 13th, but Guild Wars 2 fans should keep an eye out for the end of August. Guild
