Guild Wars 2

Thank you all for taking your time and replying to me! I’ll definitely check out the S1 cinematic and, if I have the time to spare, play through the S2 content in-game.

Thank you both for the quick replies! So from this I can assume that there has been no official word on this from the developers?

Also, Diovid:

I know there are also fan videos on youtube.

Could you recommend a couple of these, perhaps?

Hello! I didn’t know exactly where to post this, but I guess this place will do. Otherwise, feel free to move this thread, mods .

So to get to the actual question, I’ve been out of GW2 for quite some time now (last logged in around november 2014 I think), and while I’ve tried to keep up with the living world story, my studies simply haven’t allowed for it anymore. I plan on playing Heart of Thorns during my winter break after college, but my problem is that I just haven’t been able to keep up with the living world story anymore, I only know fragments of what happened. So I was wondering if Heart of Thorns gave a summary (preferably in the form of some sort of cinematic, but not required) of the living world story leading up to the expansion? And how much or what exactly would this cover? Everything that’s happened since Zhaitan, or only the directly related stuff to HoT? Or will I have to look up everything that’s happened on the wiki?

TL;DR: Is there a short summary at the start of Heart of Thorns explaining what has happened in Tyria leading up to the expansion?
