Lunar New Year Arrives In Guild Wars 2, Celebrating The Year Of The Pig

By Jason Winter, News Editor Posted: January 23, 2019

It's Lunar New Year time once again in Guild Wars 2, which means it's time to gamble on random loot -- but at least this doesn't involve loot boxes.

This edition of Lunar New Year brings back all the activities from years past, such as Dragon Ball and open Divine Lucky Envelopes, as ArenaNet celebrates the Year of the Pig. In addition, the Firecracker Lighting adventure has been expanded to a second course, and you can get some shiny new goodies in the Gem Shop.

Check out the entire patch notes for yesterday's update, which include a few tweaks to six classes, as well as fixes to the Living World and the most recent story update, on the GW2 forums.
