Fans of action role-playing games have cause to celebrate as the much-anticipated sequel, Path of Exile 2, is on the horizon. Developed by the acclaimed Grinding Gear Games (GGG), the fervor surrounding the game’s release is at a fever pitch, particularly with the recent news that Early Access will be made available to preload. This approach will allow gaming enthusiasts to prepare for this long-awaited gaming saga and dive in as soon as it goes live.
Path of Exile 2 builds upon the foundations laid by its successful predecessor, catapulting players several years forward in the game’s narrative timeline. Set within the dark and captivating landscape of the world of Wraeclast, players are tasked with the noble objective to halt a rampant corruption terrorizing the land.
Diversity is the spice of life, and such is the case with character selection in Path of Exile 2. Launching with six character classes, the game brings complexity and variety to craft your gaming experience. Each class is graced with two unique Ascendancy Classes. This satisfying blend of character customization allows players to fine-tune their in-game avatars to their play style and strategic preferences, enriching the gameplay with individual flair and versatile strategies.
In a move that broadens the options for engagement, Path of Exile 2 caters to both solo players and those who prefer taking on challenges together, allowing a co-op mode for up to six players.
Grinding Gear Games disclosed important release details through a forum post. The standalone PC client for the game will be available for download at 5pm PT on December 5 (or 1am GMT on December 6), according to local time zones.
