Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns - Deluxe Edition

Core Gameplay and Setting Expansion

The primary focus of this content is the exploration of vast, new open-world jungle maps, each presenting unique environmental challenges and opportunities for discovery. The gameplay loop centers around dynamic world events, challenging new storyline quests, and engaging in large-scale boss battles that test player coordination and skill.

A key narrative element involves tearing through the heavily armored defenses of Mordremoth itself, alongside opportunities to engage in new crafting and collection systems designed to earn components for precursor legendary weapons.

What new profession is introduced in this expansion?

This version of the game introduces the Revenant profession. This new class draws power from the legends of the past, allowing players to channel powerful figures to utilize unique weapon skills and abilities on the battlefield, adding a distinct playstyle option to the existing roster.

New Systems and Content

Beyond the core questing and combat, players gain access to specialized jungle traversal mechanics necessary to navigate the verticality and density of the new zones. Furthermore, this specific Deluxe Edition package includes several cosmetic and utility bonuses:

• An additional Character Slot, allowing for more flexibility in roster management.
• The Heart of Thorns Glider Skin for aerial movement.
• The Miniature Revenant Rytlock companion.
• A Revenant Finisher usable in Player versus Player (PvP) and World versus World (WvW) modes.
• The Mordremoth's Bane Guild Hall Decoration, a unique item for player guilds.

Is this a standalone game or an add-on?

While this package centers around the expansion content, it functions as a significant addition to the base game experience. It does not include any further DLCs or subsequent expansions, focusing solely on the content introduced with the Maguuma Jungle storyline.
