Guild Wars 2 Launches Raids & Wardrobe Update With Guardian’s Glade Raid and Quickplay
ArenaNet frames the overhaul as a way to make high-end play more approachable.
Overview
- Strike Missions are now integrated into a unified raid system with standardized currencies, new achievement tracks, and leaderboards.
- Raid Quickplay lets players queue for curated encounters and be matched into full 10‑player squads, extending the 2025 Fractals quickplay model.
- Fashion Templates enable full cosmetic loadout swaps, with two free slots available and additional slots expected to be monetized, according to Forbes’ report.
- New prestige rewards include the legendary Endless Summer ring and the game’s first raid‑exclusive mount, a Dhuum‑themed skyscale skin.
- A challenge mode for the new Guardian’s Glade raid is planned to provide a higher difficulty option for veterans.
