Guild Wars 2 is set to reveal its next expansion, accompanied by new elite specs as per a recent dev blog by Josh “Grouch” Davis.
The next expansion will focus on refining content structure and depth, with the first quarterly release post-expansion launch emphasizing updates to core systems rather than new story or map content.
Story and map development will be concentrated in the second and third quarterly updates, promising more robust and satisfying releases with larger, content-rich maps and longer, more fully developed stories compared to previous updates.
The expansion will also introduce new elite specs that complement the build crafting system, each featuring unique profession mechanics and playstyles, without being tied to specific weapons or equipment loadouts.
