The Secret World Beta Weekend #2, titled "Kingsmouth Calling, Part Two” begins on Friday May 18th at 9am PDT (16:00 GMT / noon EDT) and lasts until Sunday May 20th at 11.59pm PDT (Monday May 21st, 06:59 GMT / 2.59am EDT).

In this Beta Weekend event, players must return to Kingsmouth as an initiate of the Templars and investigate the myths and mysteries of the town and its surrounding areas. In addition to all the content of the previous Beta Weekend, in this event you get to meet more of the brave and resourceful holdouts in Kingsmouth to learn their stories and pursue the many new missions they have for you.

Several characters, storylines and missions have been added since the previous Beta Weekend.
You can head over to the scrapyard and talk to Edgar. Apart from his two mean dogs, Tango and Cash, Edgar hasn’t seen many friendly faces lately. Not only has the scrap he has collected over the years come alive, and risen as powerful golems, but he is also neck deep in zombies. Edgar could really use your help to rid himself of some barrels of highly flammable gasoline – and some zombies.

Over at the airport the veteran mechanic Ellis Hill is holding out against an onslaught of Draug from the sea. These corrupted and ancient creatures are getting bolder and bolder, but seem to be weary of light. Though Ellis is handy with a gun, he could really use some assistance getting the generator going again.

The enigmatic and powerful Orochi Corporation is keeping a watchful eye on the dark happenings in Kingsmouth. Two of their representatives, Ann Radcliffe and Harrison Blake, are getting quite frustrated with their orders to just observe and not intervene.

They are in need of someone with special powers to investigate what lies behind the rising darkness, but perhaps it is smart to do a little investigation into Orochi itself as well?

The mysteries of Kingsmouth are yours to unravel.

Character creation, WvW, exploration, crafting, epic boss battles, dungeons, and more: you name it, and it got a thorough test in last weekend’s closed beta event. The world of Tyria was crowded with many thousands of testers, and our media partners put in overtime to bring you plenty of coverage of the weekend’s festivities.

Now that the week’s drawing to a close, we’ve pulled together a roundup of some of the week’s coverage, so take a look:

Massively pulled out all the stops for the beta weekend. The writers all pitched in to talk about every aspect of the game: character creation, WvW, glory, and the overall experience. They also gave some detailed answers to reader questions, and Jef Reahard wrote about his experience as someone completely new to Tyria.

beauty of Divinity’s Reach, diving into competitive PvP, and doing some coverage of traits and skills. They also did a roundup of some of the little thingsthat help to make GW2 great, and shared a few of the sillier moments of gameplay.

"Now that the beta weekend is over, I cannot wait to play more,” said Rock Paper Shotgun’s Richard Cobbett. He had plenty more to say in his in-depth review of the weekend’s festivities. Heinrich Lenhardt at VentureBeat shared that feeling, stating that he "only scratched the surface” during his weekend of gameplay.

Kotaku solicited questions about Guild Wars 2 from its readers, and spent the weekend making sure they were all answered with an entertaining combination of text and video.

Player Attack focused heavily on PvP play during the beta weekend, but came away with an appreciation for many of the underlying systems of the game, including weapons and skills: "For a system that seems so simple on the surface, there’s a lot more depth to it than some other titles in the genre, which is promising for players who really like their characters to be unique.”

Gamebreaker TV ran the full gamut of Guild Wars 2 coverage, from the smallest of details to a full tour of the Eternal Battlegrounds. Speaking of the Eternal Battlegrounds, GBTV also has video and play-by-play of some hair-raising golem battles.

Total Biscuit was all over the place during the beta weekend, cranking out videos about Charrzookas, effective stabbing, explorable-mode dungeon running, and overall impressions.

Finally, G4TV did a beta Q&A to answer the question "Why should you play Guild Wars 2?”
