“With the shocking death of a dear friend at the end of Episode 5, the Commander and allies are out of time and out of options. Yet a sliver of hope remains while they still breathe, and War Eternal takes players on a daring, odds-defying chase after the wounded and angry Elder Dragon, Kralkatorrik, the villain at the center of last episode’s heartbreaking conclusion.”

ArenaNet has this morning announced that the final episode for Guild Wars 2’s fourth season of living story content, War Eternal, will officially launch next week on May 14th. As we’ve previously covered, the episode is expected to bring a brand-new map, conclusion to the ongoing storyline, new armor, a new legendary greatsword, and of course, the new Skyscale dragon mount.

The episode is free for all Path of Fire owners, and not coincidentally, the Guild Wars 2 and Path of Fire Standard and Deluxe editions are half off through May 19th. Naturally there’s a brand-new trailer too – enjoy!

And in case you missed it yesterday, the team dropped a small trailer for what we’ve decided to call the prism sword. Check that out too!
