Living World magazine
The Living World magazine is the official digital Guild Wars 2 magazine promoting The Icebrood Saga. The sole released issue is hosted by ArenaNet and has a retro look reminiscent of video game magazines from the 1990s and early 2000s.
Magazine content includes artwork, interviews, written content from an in-universe perspective, lore articles, notable Living World NPC profiles, teases of upcoming zones and events in the Icebrood Saga, and advertisements about Guild Wars 2 merchandise. The digital magazine has sections that can be interacted with via clicking on them. These sections open up embedded video content such as official trailers and zoom in on specific sections of text in larger articles to make the text more visible.
