Guild Wars 2’s launching a new cookbook – and preorders come with a butterknife spear skin

Guild Wars 2 Cookbook Brings Tyria’s Flavors to Your Kitchen

Ever dreamed of cooking up Bloodstone Bearclaw Pastries or diving into a bowl of Lake Doric Mussels? You’re not alone—and now, it’s actually happening. ArenaNet has officially revealed that Guild Wars 2 is getting its very own cookbook, giving players a chance to bring the cuisine of Tyria into the real world. And yes, it’s just as delightfully weird as it sounds.

Titled Guild Wars 2: The Official Cookbook—and also appearing online under the alternate name Guild Wars 2: Feasts of Tyria Recipes—this culinary collection is the creation of authors Victoria Rosenthal and Erin Kwong. Priced at around $35 and available now for pre-order on Amazon, the book features real-life interpretations of dishes inspired by the diverse cultures of the game. Whether you want to host a Charr-style banquet or prepare a Sylvari-friendly feast, the cookbook promises something for everyone.

Even better, pre-orders come with an in-game bonus: a butterknife spear skin, which is a playful nod to the infamous 2012 “Butter Nerf Crisis.” Long-time fans know exactly how deep that reference cuts.

Guild Wars 2 Expands Again with Janthir Wilds Teasers

The cookbook news isn’t the only thing cooking in Guild Wars 2. ArenaNet is also teasing the final chapter of the Janthir Wilds expansion, with a focus on a brand-new fractal. Fans are already spotting familiar design elements that suggest a link to the snowy Bjora Marches region.

A dramatic teaser promises high stakes and legendary battles:

“Brace yourself, Tyrians—a dangerous challenge looms, and only legends shall rise victorious… Only the bold will survive.”

As the expansion’s conclusion nears, excitement is building for both lore revelations and gameplay surprises. Additionally, ArenaNet has scheduled a livestream to preview the upcoming balance patch—another reason for players to tune in and stay informed.

Whether you’re cooking up digital adventures or actual Tyria-themed meals, Guild Wars 2 continues to serve its community with creativity, nostalgia, and a healthy dose of chaos.
