The 'aftermath' of Guild Wars 2's Battle for Lion's Arch

GW2

Guild Wars 2 fans logging in today will encounter the Aftermath update, which seeks to bring some closure to the ongoing living story plotline that saw Lion's Arch devastated and Scarlet defeated.

The battle is over. Scarlet Briar is dead. Tyria's noblest warriors have done what they can to save the beloved city of Lion's Arch. But have they truly saved it? Word of Scarlet's demise has spread like wildfire throughout the wards of the city and all across Tyria. The heroes of Lion's Arch, the Lionguard, and Order forces have driven out the remainder of Scarlet's armies, their morale and ranks shattered. All the while, the Breachmaker-Scarlet's enormous airship looming over Sanctum Harbor-continues to drill uncontrollably without its pilot at the helm. One thing is certain: Tyria is scarred. With today's release, "Aftermath," players will discover the depth of those wounds and the legacy left behind by Scarlet's campaign of terror.

We've got the Battle for Lion's Arch finale cinematic for you after the break in case you missed or just want to see Scarlet die again (and we know you do!).
