On October 18, the Mad King returns to the lands of Guild Wars 2. Specifically, "The Shadow of the Mad King" Halloween event begins on that date. So, I guess it's not the Mad King returning per se, but rather his shadow. Close enough.
Beginning on October 18, the annual Shadow of the Mad King event returns with ghoulish capers, spooky fights, and holiday fun! Get ready for another year of tricks, treats, and terrible jokes as the pumpkin-headed former ruler of the Thorn dynasty graces Lion’s Arch with his presence. Collect candy corn, play all of your favorite Halloween activities, and earn sweet new rewards. Keep an eye out for ArenaNet staff members in Lion’s Arch from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM Pacific Time (UTC-7) on October 18!

Players will again get to enjoy the Shadow of the Mad King event, the Clock Tower jumping puzzle, a Labyrinth maze, Candy Corn, and more.
