Some exciting news from the ArenaNet team, as they announce a slew of new Guild Wars content – War in Kryta. Covering the escalating hostilities between the White Mantle and the Shining Blade, War in Kryta also aims to start bridging the storyline with Guild Wars 2.

In case you haven’t played Guild Wars: Prophecies (still?), the White Mantle are the religious order who have taken over Kryta, and the Shining Blade are the freedom fighters rebelling against the new corrupt order. A large part of the Prophecies campaign is involved with the initial conflict, which results in the White Mantle being unmasked as tools of the Mursaat, who in turns are pawns of the Lich.

War in Kryta expands on these events with new content, quests, and outside game events, involving the Guild Wars website, Facebook, and even more. War in Kryta is the first series of content in the ongoing “Guild Wars Beyond” expansion – an ongoing series of new content, both inside and outside Guild Wars, which will build the back-story to Guild Wars 2, and slowly lead up to the new game’s release.

Lead designer Linsey Murdock game an interview with Gamespot, covering more details of how War in Kryta will work, and how it lays even more back-story to events and characters in Guild Wars 2. You can read the full interview at http://uk.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/guildwars/news.html?sid=6258414
