Guild Wars 2 is a 3D MMOPRG which is a sequel of the Guild Wars series which is currently being developed by ArenaNet. This game will use a new engine, a change in the character development and the PvP system.
The game takes place in the Guild Wars fantasy world of Tyria, 250 years after the players defeat the Great Destroyer in the Eye of the North expansion. Five elder dragons sleeping beneath the continent have awoken, causing widespread destruction to Tyria and corrupting its inhabitants. The once dominant humans of Tyria are in decline, supplanted from most of their land by disasters and war, and the dwarves are all but extinct. Old and new races alike have begun to rise in the resulting power vacuum. Old cities have been destroyed and rebuilt, kingdoms seized and reformed by new rulers. The continents of Cantha and Elona, introduced in separate stand-alone campaigns, have been cut off by politics and the dragons. The advancement of time is reflected in the changes in culture, including armor and clothing, as well as in the advancement of in-game technology and a unified common language.
The player is tasked with uniting the different playable races, whose combined strength is needed to effectively combat the elder dragons.The game's story primarily focuses on the combat against only one of these dragons, Zhaitan.
