Today marks the return of Super Adventure Box to Guild Wars 2, proving once again there is no April Fools’ day joke that MMO players will not demand a studio flesh out for a decade into a festival we look forward to every year.
“Moto’s world-renowned Super Adventure Box returns again!” ArenaNet says. “Explore two worlds (and one test zone) of excitement, peril, and educational entertainment to earn holographic weapons and a variety of loot. Travelers can visit the Super Adventure Box in Rata Sum—temporary portals have been placed in each major city to facilitate easy travel to the scenic hub of asuran culture!”
We spy some new goodies this year: the new Super Rainbow Cloud weapon set (seriously cute), new Retro-Forged weapons, new SAB-themed guild hall deco, and the new Super Ooze Kitchen:
“Accessed from any of Tyria’s level 1–15 maps, the Super Ooze Kitchen is a small bonus event where you’ll face the box’s deadly ooze enemies, including a brand-new super yellow ooze. Willing testers will be rewarded with baubles and even starter items for their adventure, including the Slingshot and Bombs weapons, plus the new Mini Super Yellow Ooze!”
Worth noting is it looks as if we’re getting a new trident skin in the batch this year. Does it mean we’re getting land tridents now, same as we got land spears last year? Probably not, but we are happy to join the rumor. Tridents are cool.
