Whats new in Guild Wars Eye of the North?

Filed in archive Game Previews on July 17, 2007

At the recently concluded E3, ArenaNet was on hand at NCsoft's booth to show off their Eye of the North expansion for Guild Wars. It's the fourth retail box, but this one will require a previous version, Nightfall, Factions, or Prophecies, to play. It will feature 18 new dungeons and a Hall of Monuments, where players amass trophies for accomplishments across the Guild Wars world.

Eye of the North includes some of the races that will be playable in Guild Wars 2, including the shapeshifting Norn, magical Asura, the Dwarves, and the Charr. We saw some of the heroes you'll meet along your travels in the expansion like Pyre Fierceshot, a Charr Ranger, Vekk, an Asura Elementalist, and Ogden Stonehealer, a Dwarven Healer. To build reputation and open up new missions and items with each race, Eye of the North will offer some mini-games. The Warlike Norn toss players into a fighting arena where the opponents are characters from previous Guild Wars releases. The Asura, favoring intelligence over brawn, challenge players to a game of Polymoch, a kind of battle chess involving game pieces with elemental properties.
