At first glance, you might assume that these screenshots were merely an April Fool’s Day ruse, playing off the comedy of Guild Wars 2’s lush character designs in a retro-themed, blocky virtual world. But no--those are actual in-game screens taken from within the Super Adventure Box, the latest addition to the realm of Tyria and a brilliant homage to the games of yesteryear.
The story goes that this whimsical new zone is actually a virtual reality construct, designed by the Asuran inventor Moto to educate his progeny in a whole new way. By plunging into the Super Adventure Box, players will be warped into an instance filled with pixelated enemies and old-school platforming sections. For those who aren’t so keen on jumping puzzles, fear not--friendly 8-bit rainbows will let you bypass any chasms that prove too tricky for your spacebar skills.
