The Guild Wars 2 Collector's edition got swag

Guild Wars 2 returns to the series setting of Tyria, but now Lovecraft-inspired horrors have the land in their tentacled grip. Fear not though, for humans aren't the only playable race this time. The hearty Norn, the gear head Asuras and two other species will join the fight to repel this new menace.

Guild Wars 2 also features a revamped magic system, and a much higher level cap of 80. The game still has its signature feature which lets players create an instant max level PvP character so they can jump into the fray as soon as they want.

Whenever the Guild Wars 2 release date rears its head, we'll be here to report. Follow us on Twitter and Facebook for the latest Guild Wars 2 news.
