New Beta PvP Map: Temple of the Silent Storm
This brand new PvP map, set on a kodan iceberg, has a distinctive look and a more vertical layout than previous maps. Since this is a beta version of the Temple of the Silent Storm map, we need input from players like you before we introduce it permanently into the game’s PvP map rotation.

The Gem Store will be well stocked in November! Unique minis and brand-new weapon skins made just for the Lost Shores weekend event are just some of what the Black Lion Trading Company has in store.
