pcgamesn.com:

Guild Wars 2 Secrets of the Obscure is the MMORPG‘s next big expansion, and it promises to bring an array of gameplay shakeups and a slew of new content to the tortured skies of Tyria. There’s even a pretty big change coming to Guild Wars 2‘s elite specialization weapons which is sure to go down a treat.

After coming to Steam last year, Guild Wars 2 Secrets of the Obscure is the fourth expansion for the MMO, releasing on Tuesday, August 22, 2023. You’ll be able to pick it up for $24.99, with the launch coming with new explorable areas, two new strike missions, gameplay features, and future content for the expansion coming in at no extra cost.

This means you’ll get an additional map, a new Fractal of Mists encounter, Strike Mission challenge modes, and new rewards up to and throughout 2024.

If you pre-order Secrets of the Obscure you can expect some nifty bonuses in the Eagle Eye Weapon Chest, an Arcane Spellweaver’s Hat, a special Demon Hunter character Title, a shared inventory slot, and a level 80 character boost.

Starting Thursday, June 29 and until Sunday, July 2 you’ll also be able to take part in the new Weaponmaster Training feature, which gives you a prebuilt character and lets you explore how the new expansion will enable all nine professions to use the weapons reserved for their elite specialization at any time.

With Guild Wars 2 End of Dragons giving the game a massive boost, it’s looking up for Secrets of the Obscure that’s for sure.
