    So are they altering the zone? Or adding a new one? Looks exciting anyway, nice to get such content with no monthly fee.

    Not sure yet, they haven't really said anything more than what's in the post. More details should be coming over the next couple weeks.

    Found a small update on this and some other stuff posted on Guild Wars 2's Reddit.

    PvE
    • Wintersday confirmed for December.
    • November weekend one time event that'll change the world and introduce the new island map.
    • On the new map... a new dungeon! Really big, gets harder to farther you get in
    • The new island is not a full-sized map, it's a medium small map that will play out a storyline. Not intended for big end-game expansion. Island is meant for more fun content. The Dungeon is meant to be added to expand end-game.
    • New rewards not seen before will be available on island.
    • They will be adding lots of things to do (they want a good variety) at max level so you can log in and say "Oh I feel like doing X, Y, and Z today)
    • Dungeon rewards are being actively worked on right now, and are also trying to make dungeons more fun to play.
    Guilds
    • They are not actively working on Guild Halls, but they will keep this promise and it will come sometime down the line.
    • They are not working on housing right now, but they love housing and think it's fun.
    sPvP
    • New sPvP map to be put in "beta" mode. Will be put in official tourney line-up if people like it.
    • They are working on (in somewhat near future): more incentive awards beyond cosmetic (but he's not talking more about that right now), and other mandatory things for sPvP (I assume spectator, ladder, etc)
    • They have an entire team dedicated to sPvP working on content.
    • (Devpost on forum) A new sPvP Blog Post will come with the patch.
    WvWvW
    • Not from interview, but Orbs will be removed
    Other notes
    • Improve on messaging: getting word out to people (ex. notify people on events, etc)
    • (From Devpost on forum): Next balance patch is mid-November
    • They're constantly evaluating sPvP, WvWvW, PvE to make sure they're rewarding and enough to do in the game.
