Next Tuesday, November 8, the final episode of Living World Season 1 returns permanently to Guild Wars 2. This is the final chapter of Season 1, completing the saga of the battle against Scarlet Briar. This content is a permanent addition to Guild Wars 2 and is free for all players.
Strike Mission: Old Lion’s Court
This update brings with it a new Strike Mission: Old Lion’s Court. Assemble a squad and take on the Watchknight Triumvirate in the ruins of the Grand Piazza in Old Lion’s Arch. You may enter this content from the Scrying Stone in Lion’s Arch or the Strike Mission Portal in Arborstone.
Public Instance: The Battle for Lion’s Arch
We are also adding the Battle for Lion’s Arch itself as a repeatable instanced group encounter. Enter a publicly joinable instance with up to 50 players or create a private squad to take down Scarlet’s minions and repel her invasion of Lion’s Arch.
Story progress is not required to enter this instance—speak to Lionguard Peltgnaw just outside the gates of Lion’s Arch in Gendarran Fields to enter. The Battle for Lion’s Arch and the Tower of Nightmares will also be added to the regular rotation of promoted events in the Eye of the North, joining Dragonstorm and the Twisted Marionette.
More information about this content, including full release notes, will be available on November 8. Keep an eye on the news feed in the Guild Wars 2 launcher and on our official forums.

Team ArenaNet’s Extra Life Game Day is next week on November 4. We’re overwhelmed by your generosity and community spirit; with our community’s power we’ve already raised over $3,300 USD this year to support Children’s Miracle Network hospitals! Our ultimate goal is to bring our lifetime total funds raised to $625,000 USD, and we need your help to do it.
Your donations will help children’s hospitals across the United States and Canada care for ill and critically injured children whose families need support. To donate to Extra Life now, visit the Team ArenaNet page. If you’d like to help us reach our goal by streaming any game or telling your friends and family about Extra Life, choose to join Team ArenaNet when you sign up! If you want to form your own team, you can select “Create a sub team” when you sign up to join the ArenaNet Super Team.
The funds you raise as a member of Team ArenaNet will contribute to our overall donation total. As in previous years, if we reach the $25,000 USD donation goal, we’ll match it to bring the total donation to $50,000!
Extra Life Game Day Livestream
On Game Day, members of Team ArenaNet participate in a 24-hour gaming marathon to raise funds, have fun, and hang out with the community. The stream begins on Friday, November 4 at noon Pacific Time (UTC-7) and ends on Saturday, November 5 at noon Pacific Time (UTC-7).
During the livestream, Team ArenaNet will play Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2, give some behind-the-scenes looks at game development, and more—including the traditional yearly head shaving. (It isn’t an ArenaNet Extra Life event if we make it through with unscathed heads.) Join them in game or watch the stream on our official Twitch channel. We’ll see you there!
Donation Strike Mission: Kids Can’t Wait
Log in to Guild Wars 2 between October 25 and November 15 to receive the title “The Extra Life” if you didn’t unlock it in previous years.

+3% PvP Reward Track Progress
The effect will gain another stack for every $10,000 USD we raise. To activate new stacks of the enhancement effect and view hourly donation total updates, just visit the city of Lion’s Arch after you log in to Guild Wars 2.
2022 Extra Life Donation Bundle
Starting today, Evon and the Black Lion Trading Company are also offering special donation items to help us reach our goal. This year’s bundle contains the dyeable Guardian Angel Cape, five Extra Life Karma Boosters, and five Temporary Selfless Potions.
Extra Life donation items will be available until November 8, and purchasing any of them will grant you a special version of the in-game title “The Extra Life” in stylish blue text. We’ll donate all proceeds to Extra Life.
