Guild Wars 2: Path of Fire designer explains why their mounts stand out in the MMO crowd

Guild Wars 2 is finally getting mounts when the massively multiplayer online role-playing game’s second expansion, Path of Fire, comes out for PC on September 22.

Along with giving players a new, desert area to explore, Path of Fire debuts multiple ride-able creatures for the first time since the game’s 2012 debut. But while most of its contemporaries, including Blizzard’s World of Warcraft, use mounts as little more than pretty speed boosts, Guild Wars 2 is taking a different approach. Its mounts will have unique movement abilities, like long leaps and short-range teleportation.
