Notes
- Despite the expansion's name, it has been stated by the developers that End of Dragons is not the end of the Guild Wars 2 storyline[10] nor the end of the game development.[11]
Trivia
- Connor Fallon has the title of Story Design Lead on the project.[12]
- Kwan Perng has the title of Narrative Lead on the project.[13]
- The Sunqua Peak Fractal is supposed to give players a first taste of Cantha without spoiling the visit in End of Dragons.[14]
- The fractal originally contained new assets from the End of Dragons expansion; however, they were removed from the final version of the fractal.[15]
- During the Extra Life 2020 charity stream:
- Echovald Forest and Shing Jea were confirmed by Matthew Medina and Tracey West to be explorable .[7]
- It was hinted that there were several easter eggs not yet discovered in the trailer for End of Dragons. Soon after, a flag with an icon looking like the Aetherblades emblem was found, and was confirmed to be correct later during the stream by Rubi Bayer.
