Guild Wars 2 Gets Halloween Update And Gross Candy Corn
Guild Wars 2 is about to jump into the Halloween season with its upcoming seasonal update. Coming October 18 and ending at some unspecified time after Halloween, the game is receiving a Trick-or-Treat basket's worth of new and returning events and features.
The annual Shadow of the Mad King event makes a comeback along with a Clock Tower jumping puzzle, a "must-do" Labyrinth, candy corn, and "much more." Players can take part in these Halloween-specific events in addition to earning some "sweet new rewards."

Our Take
Seasonal updates are always a cool idea, especially for Halloween. The costume-driven nature of it all allows for more creative freedom from the developers. It's all good unless they include candy corn. Get that garbage out of video games (and real life).
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
