ArenaNet’s Guild Wars 2 has seen its first major expansion and raid with Hearts of Thorns but the developer’s free to play MMORPG is pushing forward. A new content update will be out on January 26th which will allow players to use their hang-gliders in the open world or through the city in Central Tyria.

Other changes promised include improvements to Fractals, markers and lieutenant promotions for the Enhanced Squad UI, a new Mist Champion, new decorations for world and raid bosses, some balance changes, adjustments to aspects like kill scoring in World vs. World combat and much more.
