A new trailer from Guild Wars 2 showing off the new thief class and its shapeshifting abilities that previewed last week at the GDC has finally made its way onto the web.

The trailer begins with a human female thief freerunning across rooftops like a leather-clad Ezio Auditore who uses guns and daggers. Further abilities are revealed as the trailer continues, showing the thief as something of a combat powerhouse against everything from groups of enemies to single, giant targets.

The original Guild Wars was a large hit, revered as one of the best MMO’s created so far. But a number of expansions, the franchise expanded, until they could only go so far with the original engine and timeline.

The solution, a whole new game.

Guild wars 2 was born with this premise, to update the graphics and move the timeline forward 250 years, to a time where the world has now become incredibly different than that of the original.

With being in production for two years and not a single image of gameplay or the game itself, besides production art, this first trailer comes somewhat as a gift to hardcore fans.
