Guild Wars 2 Halloween Event Launches Today

Guild Wars 2 Halloween Event Launches Today

Guild Wars 2’s “Shadow of the Mad King” Halloween event begins today, bringing the launch of the MMO’s paid-for PvP tournaments along with it.

The nine-day Shadows of the Mad King event will last from today up through Halloween, and will be made up of four “acts.” These acts will bring new dynamic events, dungeons, puzzles, achievements, and Halloween-style decorations along with them, among other things.

The paid PvP tournaments, meanwhile, will be 5v5 affairs that require entry fees and will reward high-ranking players with in-game glory, rank points, and gems. The new tournaments come as part of ArenaNet’s larger effort to turn Guild Wars 2 PvP into a bona fide eSport.

Guild Wars 2 was released this past August.
