If you’re excited about Guild Wars 2’s upcoming Desert Borderlands map that will be replacing the three old WvW borderlands maps currently in the game, then scoot your butt over to a lengthy dev post on the region’s highlights and design.
While the number and location of objectives will be similar to existing borderlands, the new map will feature increased verticality, distinctly thematic structures, a more strategic layout, new elemental shrines, and a central oasis that triggers an occasional zone-wide event.
Check out a video overview of Heart of Thorns’ Desert Borderlands after the jump!
