This new approach not only ensures a more predictable development cycle but also allows us to make strides toward improving work/life balance for our developers.īig changes like this are just as nerve-racking for us as they are for you, but it's safe to say that we're breathing a lot easier these days. These changes, born from our desire to better serve our players, involve adopting a more consistent release cadence and eliminating extended content droughts. This brought some long-overdue changes to how we develop and release expansion content.
In August, alongside our 11th anniversary, we launched Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure™. The team and I couldn't be more grateful for your passion and ongoing support. Before we close up shop for the studio's annual holiday break, I'd like to take a moment to express my deepest appreciation to you for making this another great year. I'm Josh Davis, Game Director for Guild Wars 2®.
