Path of Exile 2: Unveiling the Shadows of Wraeclast
Introduction
In the dim recesses of Wraeclast, where shadows writhe and ancient evils stir, Path of Exile 2 beckons. Developed by Grinding Gear Games, this next-generation Action RPG transcends its predecessor, plunging players into a world where corruption festers, gods clash, and destiny hangs in the balance.
The Echoes of Corruption
A World Reborn
Years after the fall of Kitava, Wraeclast grapples with rebirth. Yet, like a creeping vine, Corruption once again taints the land. Whispers circulate—a ghastly living Seed drives mortals to madness. In this twilight realm, heroes emerge to confront the encroaching darkness.
The Mythic Campaign
Path of Exile 2 unfurls a brand-new six-act campaign, spanning 100 distinct environments. Traverse treacherous landscapes, battle 600 unique monsters, and face off against 100 formidable bosses. The echoes of myth resound as you delve deeper into the heart of Wraeclast.
The Art of Ascendancy
Choose Your Path
Select from twelve character classes, each representing a blend of Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence. These archetypes serve as your canvas, but they’re merely the starting point. Mix and match skills across classes to forge your own destiny. Ascendancy awaits—the three specializations for each class yield 36 unique paths.
Gems of Power
Path of Exile 2 introduces a revamped skill system. 240 Skill Gems grant devastating active abilities, while 200 Support Gems modify their behavior. Socket these gems directly into your skills, eliminating past complexities. Now, every skill can be fully optimized, and six-link mastery is within reach.
The Dual Specialization
The iconic Passive Skill Tree returns, boasting 2,000 skills. But there’s a twist: Dual Specialization lets you allocate points to two different skill sets. Swap between daggers and traps, ice and lightning, without compromise. Become a master of versatility.
Armory of Legends
Weapons Unleashed
Discover 700 equipment base types, each harboring unique items. Spears, Crossbows, and Flails join the fray, alongside redesigned Sceptres. Augment your arsenal with Focuses and Traps, and redefine combat.
The Endgame Beckons
Upon completing the six-act campaign, the endgame awaits. Over 100 maps, each with its own boss fight and modifiers, echo past leagues. Brace for surprises, for Wraeclast’s secrets lie hidden in the shadows.
The Countdown Begins
Path of Exile 2 is not a mere sequel; it’s an evolution. The Closed Beta arrives on June 7th, 2024. Brace yourself for a journey beyond time, where legends are forged, and the fate of Wraeclast hangs in the balance.
Note: Path of Exile 2 is set to launch on PC, macOS, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5. The gods await your return.
