Journeys has officially launched its preorders! The 2018 Wintersday Zine features works from 79 contributors in a 186+ page perfect bound book. It includes short stories, illustrations and comics, and brings together talents from across the global community.
The contributors each picked one of three sections - the base game, Heart of Thorns or Path of Fire - and chose a moment that they felt highlighted their experience in @guildwars2. The book aims to take the reader back to the start - from your first days exploring - and rise to the challenges of our most recent adventures.
