Watch the introduction to this Guild Wars 2 dungeon!

In the latest Guild Wars 2 dev blog entry, Cinematic Department Lead Horia Dociu has posted the cinematic intro for the Ascalonian Catacombs dungeon. "We want the cinematics to feel like moving paintings," Dociu said, and they've certainly accomplished that task. Watch the video below to hear iconic charr Rytlock Brimstone tell the tale of the fall of the human kingdom of Ascalon.

Dungeons have been a major focus in ArenaNet's blog this week. Content Designer William Fairfield has written an in-depth blog entry that explains how the team is designing dungeons in Guild Wars 2, and Lore and Continuity Designer Jeff Grubb's dev blog entry covers the entire dungeon system.
