Today ArenaNet releases the next major update of Guild Wars 2's Secrets of the Obscure expansion, called Through the Veil. It's the second of four releases that will make up the full expansion's launch, and it adds the first part of the expansion's third and final map—a map that will continue to be expanded in future updates.

gets back to the microgame series' roots in many ways, eschewing some of the less favorable mechanics of its predecessor while staying true to its core principles. The Nintendo series just celebrated its 20th anniversary earlier this year, but this new entry shows that there are still fresh ways to ideate on the beloved franchise. The new game returns to movement-based gameplay first established with the Wii's, taking full advantage of the Nintendo Switch's capabilities and creating something that's a lot of chaotic fun, although there's arguably less for single players to do this time around.
