The festive season has returned to Tyria this week as Guild Wars 2’s Wintersday has just rolled out. ArenaNet says it’ll run through January 5th. Notably, this year’s event adds a new hood cosmetic to the meta-achievement, a new weapon set, and new guild deco for the season:
“Come join us in celebrating Wintersday—Toymaker Tixx has made his annual visit to Divinity’s Reach to spread seasonal cheer and festivity! Bring the cheer of Wintersday to the distant north in the Secret Lair of the Snowmen, complete daily achievements to earn fanciful holiday weapons, save Wintersday for the orphans around Divinity’s Reach by giving them wrapped gifts, and test your snow-throwing skills against other players in Snowball Mayhem. You can also experience the joy of jumping in Winter Wonderland, defend against waves of toys in Toypocalypse, and help keep Tixx’s airship, the Infinirarium, in order! Keep an eye out for Wintersday Gifts appearing all around Tyria, too.”
In other Guild Wars 2 news, if you for some reason still don’t have the paid version of the game, now is a good time to get it, as the Path of Fire/Heart of Thorns bundle is 50% off, meaning the set is down to 15 bucks.
