Guild Wars 2 Super Adventure Box

[@SiGhast]

This trailer is still the most beautiful thing to ever come out of an MMO.

This needs about 10 million more views. I'm giving Anet major props for this awesome throw back to the games we knew and loved.

[@ReddoRibbon]

BEST Guild Wars 2 commecial ever! 2019 we still waiting for world 3&4 :)

[@ChouetteEnrageuh]

Goodbye to the creator of the SAB, RIP kingdoms :c

2021 pitching in

[@NaNa-kj2gw]

Hi from 2022

[@oOKenduOo]

@@NaNa-kj2gw And now world 3 has arrived yeeeeey

[@ikoparurottenheart4953]

I am playing it right now ... Love the adventure box! I only discovered today after having the game for so many years and never bothering with festivals and man, wish I had played sooner! hooked on the amazing skins! I want them all :)

[@SiGhast]

Ironically this video never gets old. Rytlock raising his shutter shades is one of the most magical moments in the history of moving pictures.

[@DranerFox]

Rytlock Brimstone!?

[@elowenwendo9420]

Yes

[@gingeraleman7723]

"WHOA! Rytlock Brimstone!"

[@Aedelric]

Rytlock's growl reminded me of The Thundercats intro (Original one obviously) This commercial brings me back to my childhood. As for the Super Adventure Box itself, it alone is worth buying Guild Wars 2 for, Zelda, Final Fantasy and all the other games of my childhood rolled into one. I never thought it possible but you have outdone yourself Arena Net!

[@STAG162]

and now finally, 10 years later, we get a preview (test run) of World 3.

[@Paintedawg]

This is the GREATEST advertising for GW2 EVER!

[@uhhsam]

I want to give a sincere thank you to the parents of the folks at Arenanet for helping them hook my Super Adventure Box back up.

[@TheMrRuttazzo]

"Guild Wars 2 sold separately." :P

[@kennethmelo6336]

Holy shit I love how ArenaNet made this. This is simply awesome.

[@Tempeljonas]

Love the 80s feel to it ! Very nicely done ! Thanks

[@HCSR2]

They stopped the graphics ):

[@trepcsuit]

"Awesome Graphics!" Reminds me of the days of Doritos Coke and processed cheese covered controllers

[@DragonGraham]

I only could play this for around 10 mins but from what I played it was really really good. Very unique and SUPER fun. Day one buy for me

[@CarrolGhiacciolo]

"You need steel patient and lightning reflexes." So true. ;w;

[@StB992]

IT IS FINALLY BACK! WOOT

[@mogolosschwarzpfeil8108]

YEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH

[@zengara11]

2017 :I

[@DemethVLK]

11 years later, still amazing

[@michram]

The best trailer eveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer! XDDDDD

[@fenarycalfest8732]

They did Rhytlock costume just for this commercial?! Wth that was cool 😭

[@fallendarkness1]

I didn't think people could be so ignorant. The 'Super Adventure Box' is a feature for GW2 which you ARE NOT FORCED to use / play. I personally love the word ANet put into Guild Wars 1 and now GW2. GW2 offers a constantly changing world due to events, living story, and constantly updated features such as the finished living story segment recently, and now this. All of this additional content is that of which you are not FORCED to play.

[@mrwubzydx5337]

This makes me so envious of those who got to play SAB. I really wish I had the chance to do so, but sadly, I never will. I suppose this is how things are.

[@DatBoyHex]

Myles Raines It's coming back Post-HoT

[@wyomingsmithstudios]

+Emiliano Lozada Still waiting... Kicking myself because I have been playing since launch but didn't play it then because I was taking a break from the game.

[@HalfLifeHalfDead]

+Emiliano Lozada They never confirmed it's coming back

[@tomsolstol1687]

+Myles Raines Now it's back :3

[@StB992]

+Myles Raines It's back and they announced it as a "yearly festival", so you can expect to have SAB back every year in April.

[@PumpkinHeadLemure]

Such an awesome ad... Brings me back to the good ol 80's.

[@TheHoffy91]

i'm so glad that i'm a early 90's guy i had it so awesome in my Childhood. and this gives back so many amazing memory's

[@Vinceras]

Absolutely amazing and hilarious and fun! Keep this in the game please!!!!

[@RichieStacker]

You can hop in at any level. You're give 3 hearts of health (eventually expandable to 6), 5 lives (can be topped up if you lose them all) and map-specific skills that are gradually unlocked through shops dotted around the area. It does recommend 5 players, but it seems to be soloable too.

[@McCartoon]

Oh god the glowing eyes, Arenanet threw every cheesy memento at this. I will have nightmares of the gumi wristbands and pillowhead hairdos, thank you. And then I will play some more Super Adventure Box.

[@SendMeOnMyWayy]

This is the best thing I have ever seen in a game ever, that isn't the actual game. Me and my guild played through infantile mode to check it out yesterday when it had just come out, and seriously. Best thing ever. Can't wait for us to have a proper go in normal mode. ANet, seriously, this is awesome.

[@SodaGumX]

Best thing I have ever seen. This is just like the old sega and nintendo ads I used to watch and made me want everything so bad.

[@Joeyfield0]

despite me not actually liking the game cause plateformers, death mechanic and games with secrets are difficult to me (yes it took me maybe 60 tries to get use to FoTM, and jumping puzzles in game are a nightmare), I do appreciate this to be the best April 1st this a game could release, and it's all free to play!

[@FlowerBot]

I joined the game in the middle of SAB 3 or 4 years ago, and this festival is how I knew this game would be great :)

[@LosDOTGamers]

Watching this on VHS mode give me goosebumps.

[@TheNathvar]

You can do the runs once a day per character. Also, you can easily get to Rata Sum with a new character from any race with the Asuran Portals.

[@umbraonyxfire8254]

This will ALWAYS BE AWESOME!! 😂 THANK YOU ARENA NET 💗

[@SiGhast]

That's what makes it so goddamn good. They truly captured the cheesiness of '80s and '90s game commercials.

[@TheNathvar]

This was so funny! Make promotional videos like this for EVERY new patch!

[@Bloodsoldr]

reminder that this was anet's "april fools joke" for 2013

[@Yaminoyori]

You know... As a GW2 fan and an old time gamer I just can't say no, to this one...

[@Triforcecwp]

Cant get enough of this thanks Anet. for bringing it back, can we get a W3 soon :D?

[@Skorpi00007]

its ironic because they just put in a huge aprils fools update for us to enjoy a whole month. when i saw this video i though it was the aprils fools joke but amazing that anet went to the trouble to put out so much content just for april, compared to all other mmo's this is by far the best aprils gift

[@brunomedeiros4533]

They had a great idea for the commercial. Its amazing!

[@mfking360]

it even brings back all the deaths from the 90's games

[@GeoRevilo]

Thats fine, it was actually refreshing to have a discussion on here with someone nice and understanding for a change.

[@SiGhast]

Brilliant is an understatement. It's so rad it hurts.

[@TrevorGall16]

Arena net , I already loved you , but now even MOAR !! This is so cool , please keep it in the game !!

[@jordannihart7732]

Only a quote from Beetlejuice would suffice for this video: "AND IT KEEPS GETTIN' FUNNIER EVERYTIME I SEE IT!"

[@DagothDaddy]

I was hoping this was all just a bad acid trip when I remembered it but turns out it really did happen.

[@AimlessAcoustics]

Arena Net: "Hey guys, I guess we should make a commercial for Super Adventure Box... Well... I'll break out the Acid Tabs..." Awesome xD

[@ratdisease5280]

the rytlock fursuit still exists somewhere but according to the official tumblr account nobody knows where it is

[@stevenmcg1986]

Greatest video ever made

[@guildwarsSNOW]

WvW is the greatest gaming experience I have ever had and I have been playing computer games since the original space invaders and asteroids came out (we didn't get a pong machine until 1978).

[@wiedzmin2908]

I am impressed you are still keeping it on your channel

[@JamesyBeanZ]

just watch this in 240p to get that great nostalgic feel of a early 1990's comercial

[@PabloNeirotti]

Loved the setup for the video. It truly feels good oldie!

[@bottleofblack]

Omg. I LOVED THIS VIDEO. And I am adoring every minute I have in the Adventure Box.

[@zymosiszymurgy1]

This should have been put for good in GW2, not just this month. Anet pulled a really good job joining retro video game style with GW2.

[@leafrider47]

I like this, it reminds me of the tv shows/commercials that was produced in the late 80's/early 90's

[@linck7up]

still no world 3

[@kalopses2066]

a masterpiece even now

[@HallagarDerMagier]

Nope, the "super adventure box" is a new ingame dungeon in guild wars two, wich is opened the whole april. It's pretty awesome :D

[@MarcelloGarini]

Anet we need more of this ADs, plz :D

[@xLoco187]

This was the best thing to be added since launch.

[@Rallad]

That's one scary commercial :D Loved playing the mini game!

[@Gabyo]

"Awesome graphics! Stop the graphics!" lol

[@fallendecember82]

Yes very much so, I still play it and it has a ton of others playing as well, mainly in WvW.

[@GRANDIZERm]

reminded me of the good old days where u would go insane before finishing a level :D

[@lchurbe2972]

Best GW2 trailer ever!

[@mocaxu]

reminds me of when I was a kid watching Nintendo commercials... :D and them toys r us commercials.... :D ok.. i'm old.... :(

[@Lindonrow]

Agreed, and an even better example of unforgiving would have to be the earlier Castlevania games

[@Isterbollen]

Thank you for making this , you are the best game devolpers I know of if you keep doing stuff like this

[@Sephor18]

The madness of advertising 90's! Amazing!

[@WarCraftLoreMaster]

Rofl this commercial is just like the video game commercials from the 80s - 90s. Awesome

[@TheLazySage7]

Here in 2022, Few hours b4 it goes live again. Another year of SAB!

[@iacopok9295]

90's nostalgia. I'm a feelin young again.

[@thcollegestudent]

Reminds me of when GW2 still got me excited...

[@jacknight10]

I am going to say it get to be a April Fools day staff again nice one Areanet

[@Margilus]

DAT "Saved by the Bell" reference @ 0:27 hit me right in the childhood.

[@ryanjones314159]

So..so...awesome..I am humbled by their vision.

[@JACKB0NER]

The only 6 year old here is you since it appears you aren't old enough to enjoy this awesome parody of old game commercials.

[@NOUS123ONE]

I've had the new Skins just 4 Hours after Super Adventure Box came^^ me and my guildies startet farming it right away :D

[@GuitarPersonX]

Older machines can run it at around 20 FPS on lowest settings, that doesn't mean it has bad graphics. That's like saying that Hussein Bolt is slow because a tortoise can run a 100m race too.

[@xXAgeofPandazXx]

Its like one of those old gaming trailers from the 80's and 90's hahahaha "your parents help you hook it up"

[@Metroidam11]

Holy shit! If I saw this as a kid I would've been scared shitless!

[@djschaum520]

it's sad that we will probably never see world 3 and 4

[@tanek_09]

We also thought we'd never see Season 1 again, so who knows.

[@FhtagnCthulhu]

I love SAB, and now Rytlock's critter rampage. I do think you can down-rate things for being too hard though. (Not that I would on either of these) I love that Anet has been throwing fun things like this into the game instead of just more high level dungeons. I love this stuff. Not that I would mind new dungeons or whatever, but a mix of content keeps things fresh.

[@victoriafiedler4434]

No it's not. And it's awesome! Forget about the actual game, we don't need more fractals, dungeons, and stuff. The Super Adventure Box is enough! So epic! I'm nearly addicted to it!

[@irongamernet]

Lol, great throw back to the 80's and early 90's video game ads. Thought it was just a spoof, but no! There is an entire map and adventure in GW2 that is full of 8 bit goodness. Quite the nostalgia trip, fun too. If you haven't done so yet hop in GW 2 and give it a go. The content is available April 1 - 30, 2013.

[@SiGhast]

Well, they captured more than just the cheesiness (the game aside it seriously could have just as likely been from back then!), but you get my point. Maybe.

[@MoonprinceOfShadows]

I love it!~ I love that ArenaNet is adding even more variety to the game. I think it's a great idea!

[@d4w35l3y]

I would totally want to play those levels/areas shown.

[@McMarc_1993]

whenever they say ArenaNet sucks at marketing, I think back to this. Now THIS was something special

[@TheCerealNinja]

It's suppose to feel "Retro" which is basically the theme for the Holiday event.

[@albuquerqueThomas]

good job! Amazing! Added to favs!

[@mittensfastpaw]

Still love it to this day.

[@The_Conundrum_Crew]

I vaguely remember this. Really fun stuff.

[@DarkFrinda23Labrini]

in the game the npc (or was it the letter?) mentions it won't stay for long.I do think it's aprils fool prank :( ...Also some ppl thoughts amaze me!Arenanet added a basically "dungeon puzzle" different from anything it could cross my mind with fun in mind and they say "what game turns out to be". hahaha
