Guild Wars 2

What ever happened with it?

Well according to Amazon, “Sea of Sorrow” is coming June 2013.

But I have been curious myself. According to wiki, it went into editing back in January of 2012. Haven’t heard anything else since then about it.

I’m going to guess that the tapped author either had issues that have prevented it’s completion, or completed it, only to have it rejected and had to do a major re-write. If it was determined that it was time to find another author to pen the book, that would definitely push back it’s release.

I guess they could also have decided to make it tie in with the first paid expansion, especially if the book contains major spoilers on said expansion. That theory isn’t exclusive from the others, since clearly the book was originally intended to come out around the time the game released and the nature of the book itself would probably have had to have changed in order for it to have raised spoiler concerns.

The books were designed to bridge the gap lore-wise between GW1 and GW2. As for the author, she’s an ArenaNet employee who I’m sure is crazy busy with other things and the book was put on the back burner.

Check out Thorn, if you’re after another GW2 novel while you wait for Sea of Sorrows.
