Today will see the end of <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/guild-wars-2/"><em>Guild Wars 2</em>'s</a> holiday break from regular content updates with the release of <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2014/01/14/exclusive-preview-of-guild-wars-2s-origin-of-madness-release/">Origins of Madness</a>. You like giant robots? Done. Crazy about jungle wurms? Yeah, we've got that. Dying to unravel the truth behind <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/scarlet-briar/">Scarlet Briar</a>, the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/living-story/">living story's</a> primary antagonist? <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/arenanet/">ArenaNet</a> has you covered.<br />
<br />
Players will face attacks on two fronts: In Bloodtide Coast, Scarlet's <a href="http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/DO_NOT_TOUCH">mysterious probes</a> have riled up an ancient, three-headed jungle wurm. In Lornar's Pass, Scarlet herself is rallying her forces around the testing grounds of her new superweapon, the massive Twisted Marionette. Both threats require a significant number of players to defeat, so now might be a good a time to head down to your local <a href="http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Pact">Pact</a> recruitment office and volunteer.<br />
<br />
Origins of Madness is the first of four story-focused content releases that promise to wrap up <em>GW2</em>'s Scarlet Briar story arc.

The end is near! After a brief period of peace and quiet, <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/guild-wars-2/"><em>Guild Wars 2</em>'s</a> update cadence will begin again, and ArenaNet has <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2014/01/08/arenanet-hints-at-next-gw2-update-with-meatspace-metronome/">no plans to ease Tyria gently</a> back into the groove. Next week brings the first of four releases, which will culminate in the end of <em>GW2</em>'s <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/scarlet-briar/">Scarlet Briar</a> story arc.<br />
<br />
Massively was invited to sit down with <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/colin-johanson/">Colin Johanson</a> and Meelad Sadat to discuss the teaser trailer for the upcoming release, <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Origin-of-Madness/">Origin of Madness</a>. While we can't reveal <em>too</em> many of the secrets we've learned about Tyria's future (we wouldn't want to spoil any <em>big</em> surprises), we're pleased to bring you an exclusive peek at some of the content you'll find in the January 21st release.
