Path of Exile 2
Path of Exile 2 is an upcoming action role-playing video game developed and published by Grinding Gear Games. A sequel to Path of Exile (2013), the game was released as a paid early access title for Windows, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S on December 6, 2024, and is set to be released in full in 2026.
Path of Exile 2, like its predecessor, is an isometric action role-playing dungeon crawling video game. It introduces a new skill system with 240 active skill gems and 200 support gems.[when defined as?] There will be twelve character classes that have three ascendancy classes[when defined as?] each. New weapons will be introduced such as spears, crossbows and flails, as well as supplementary items like focuses, traps and redesigned scepters. The passive skill tree will have 2000 skills and will allow dual specialization[when defined as?]. A dodge roll movement mechanic will be added. Spirit, a new resource used to reserve things like auras, replaces the mana reservation system of the first game. Many other changes, such as permanent minions, trigger skills, game engine, and graphic improvements will be a part of the sequel.
After completing the six-act storyline, players gain access to more than 100 endgame maps. Each endgame map contains a boss fight and map modifiers that enable revamped versions of many of Path of Exile's past leagues.
Compared with the previous game, Path of Exile 2's gameplay has a greater focus on challenging boss fights in the campaign which require precise timing and positioning, as well as mechanics incentivizing players to use multiple skills. For example, gas grenade users can ignite the gas to explode, staff fighters can summon and hit a magic bell to damage enemies with the shockwaves, and lightning archers can chain their arrows with lightning rods. In the endgame, players explore an infinite atlas of monster infested maps with occasional bosses and merchants.[citation needed]
The early access version of the game, released on December 6, 2024, takes place roughly 20 years after the events of the first game. The setting is Wraeclast, a continent in a high fantasy world with various factions inspired by mythology. Factions include the Celtic-inspired Ezomytes, the Roman Empire-inspired Eternal Empire, the Polynesian-inspired Karui, and the Aztec-inspired Vaal.
In the introductory cutscene, a hooded man is hunted by a party of combatants, who fall victims one by one to his powers until the leader of the expedition intervenes, stabbing the hooded man through the chest with his magic sword. The leader steals a spherical container from the man and hands it over to the sole survivor of the hunting party, who opens it, revealing a writhing mass of tentacles. The leader then cuts the throat of the survivor, feeding him to the creature, which grows in size. After hanging the hooded man to a tree, he carries the creature away in a cage, from which tentacles detach and spread on the soil in root-like structures.
The player begins as a criminal to be hanged in the county of Ogham, part of the Ezomyte region of Wraeclast. For each character, the voice of the leader of the expedition recounts the alleged crimes that warranted their death sentence. After the player selects which character they intend to play, the gallows' trapdoors open, executing everyone except the selected character, whose rope snaps, allowing them to escape by plunging themselves in a nearby river. They wake up on the riverbank and, after fending off aggressive risen corpses, they take shelter in a sawmill with other refugees, learning that Count Geonor of Ogham has gone insane as a mysterious corruption is spreading through the county, raising the dead and mutating the living into horrifying monsters. Working to stop him, the player finds the hooded man and frees him from the spell the count used to subdue him. The hooded figure describes how the creature the count had stolen is a "seed of corruption" that he had attempted to hide from humanity due to its dangerous properties. The player learns that not only has the count been executing every criminal to feed the seed, but he has also torn apart his own manor to excavate ancient corpses who are then devoured by the worm-like tentacles still trapped in the cage. The player eventually defeats the count, but not before his wife, the countess Oriana, escapes, bringing with her the fledgling creature. The hooded figure interrogates Geonor, who reveals he was being controlled by Oriana all along and that she escaped in the Vastiri desert. The hooded man reveals the creature is the Beast, a divine but mindless being created thousands of years before by the god Sin to suppress all gods and keep them from destroying humanity with their strife. The Beast was killed around twenty years before by the Exile during the events of the first game, and all that remained of it was the seed stolen from the hooded figure by Geonor.
The player and the hooded stranger chase the countess by earning passage on the desert caravan of the Ardura, a tribe of the Maraketh people who inhabit the desert where once the Beast was located. They find out that Oriana has used the Beast to revive Jamanra, the ancient king and messiah of the Faridun tribe, which is composed by the descendants of the children forsaken by the Maraketh. Giving them the prospect to exact revenge against their rival tribe and rising their legendary King, Oriana managed to gain control of the Faridun and employ them to feed the Beast. The player chases the rival caravan across the Vastiri, fighting and learning the history and culture of the tribes inhabiting the desert. Eventually, the player reaches the Dreadnought, Jamanra's caravan, and defeats the Faridun King. Oriana escapes again with the Beast, which now has grown to a considerable size, having a head and a torso with stumps.
