Guild Wars 2’s Super Adventure Box event from last years’ April Fool’s Day has returned under the name of Super Adventure Festival.
If you’re unfamiliar with the event, Super Adventure Box was an 8-bit retro-style makeover of Guild Wars 2 that pitted players against dozens of enemies to fight and maneuver through countless puzzles. Rewards for this year’s edition include all-new orange Super weapons skins, the Super Bee Dog Mail Carrier, and a number of new guild hall decorations.
The update also adds a number of items to the Black Lion Trading Company, such as the Super Adventure Pack, Super Adventure Box miniatures, and the Super Explosive Finisher.
