BELLEVUE, WA – February 20, 2024 – The second content update for Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure, “The Realm of Dreams”, launches Tuesday, February 27 free for all expansion owners. A new section of Nayos, home to the dreaded Kryptis, will be accessible for players to explore as they seek to prevent Tyria from falling to this otherworldly enemy. Two new legendary bosses will begin to appear in Convergences, a 50-player combat feature introduced in November’s “Through the Veil” update. To aid in the fight, each profession will gain the use of a new weapon proficiency that they previously could not wield, providing new skills and build possibilities. A new legendary relic and the first tier of the new legendary Obsidian armor set are also powerful new gear rewards. 

 

Today ArenaNet released a launch trailer, which you can view here. A suite of new assets, including screenshots and art, are also available here.

 

Along with continuing the story of the Kryptis invasion, “The Realm of Dreams” contains a refresh of the Wizard’s Vault to provide new items and rewards for players to augment their play style, while the Temple of Febe Strike Mission welcomes Challenge Mode, a harder difficulty option for the truly adept. Along with a new Ranger pet and an expansion of the Astral Ward Mastery line, this update sets the stage for the thrilling Secrets of the Obscure finale later this year at no additional charge to expansion players.
