On Reddit some guys who followed the chinese stream (where Ree was interviewed) posted that Ree Soesbee would be the new writer for the upcoming Living Story Season.

Can someone confirm this? This would be huge for me personally, I absolutely LOVE her work.

I hate to burst your bubble, but I think some overzealous fans misinterpreted the announcements from China. Ree did not work on the Festival of the Four Winds content. I can’t comment on what she’s been working on lately, or on any unannounced future releases.

It’s great to see so many fans of hers express support, though. I’m sure she’ll be excited to know you’re looking forward to whatever she’s involved with.

Thanks for the clarification Bobby, at least I hope that she’s still working on content for GW2. I absolutely mean no disrespect to the LS1 writers, like I mentioned above.

I agree with FlamingFoxx that the important thing is the translation from the writing board to the actual live game.

Agreed. One of our biggest challenges from the first season of the Living World was merging story moments with gameplay and presenting the story in a way that matched our vision. We learned a lot from working on season one and will be applying that knowledge.

Hmm, seems like the question remains unanswered.
The topic was if Ree is involved into next living story season, not release. We know that she isn’t in Bazaar and Queen’s Jubilee seasonal releases already.
Unless you claim Bazaar to be the opening of Season 2 which may be… Cool

So we either can’t exclude Ree kitten writer if Bazaar isn’t S2 or if Bazaar is S2, I could take it as a confirmation

Festival of the Four Winds is a festival release. We have not announced anything past that.

Ah, I get where you’re coming from, because of job reasons you’re literally not allowed to tell us anything. Thanks for sharing what you could.

You’re welcome.

Cantha confirmed! Woo-hoo!

Actually, that was my Half-Life 3 announcement.
