The Latest Chapter of Guild Wars 2: The Icebrood Saga Episode Five, “Balance”, Arrives March 9

LONDON – March 2, 2021 – The latest chapter to The Icebrood Saga’s final episode, titled Balance, arrives next Tuesday with brand new content for Guild Wars 2 players to dig into as the run-up to the climactic conclusion commences.

ArenaNet released a new trailer today that previews the exciting additions to the game, which you can watch HERE.

Three new Dragon Response Missions will be available in Caledon Forest, Bloodtide Coast, and Fireheart Rise, where the devastation wrought by the Elder Dragons Jormag and Primordus has left the countryside in calamity. A new story mission will shine the spotlight on Braham, whose bond with the Spirits of the Wild will move him one step closer to fulfilling his destiny.

Faction recruitment continues, with the elusive Tengu availing themselves to the fight while also making their unique weapons available to their new allies. Three additional factions will become available after the episode releases, with a new one arriving every two weeks until April 20. Episode 5’s Dragonslayer weapons will reach a new third tier, bestowing their ultimate power to their wielders, while a new unique skritt scepter will sparkle alluringly for those who desire more shiny baubles for their weapon inventory.

All four chapters of Episode 5 will be free for all players who own Guild Wars 2: Path of Fire and log in upon its release. The fourth chapter, Judgement, will launch in late April 2021.
