NCSoft shared some new Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns assets with the press. This is just the beginning of what we'll see during Gamescom 2015, as developer ArenaNet confirmed via Twitter that they will announce a new Heart of Thorns feature this Saturday, during the course of a tournament live stream on Twitch.

That's not all either, as Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns will enter its first beta weekend on Friday, August 7; the test will last until Monday, August 10 and it will be open to all those who have already preorder the expansion (which still has no release date).
