Both a short new blog post and a new cinematic trailer have been sent out by Arena.Net and the Guild Wars 2 team. Both center around the Ascalonia Catacombs dungeon and the cinematic video that players will see on entry. The cinematic is, according to Horia Dociu, vital to setting the mood of the area players are entering.
In this particular cinematic, we actually get to see the charr laying siege to Ascalon, watch the walls of the human city crumble, and hear the mad King Adelbern damning the entire kingdom with his infamous cursed sword Magdaer. These types of cinematics are a fun way for us and the fans to get a glimpse into Tyria's history, and actually show in the most dramatic way possible how history has come to pass.
