ArenaNet’s free MMORPG Guild Wars 2 gets the latest update and invites players to the annual Dragon Bash event.

For those who discover Guild Wars 2, The Dragon Bash is a summer festival celebrating Tyria’s resistance and victories against the Elder Dragons. Several festive games are available during the event period.

For example, you can enter the dragon arena and fight against realistic dragon holograms where you can show the world what you are made of. You can also engage in Dragon Arena Survival if you want a more challenging experience.

This event will end on June 28 at 3 p.m. EST.
