Path of Exile, the first of its name, delights fans of hack’n’slash dark fantasy since 2013, thanks to its delicately grimy atmosphere, an opulence of content, and thanks to a model free-to-play away from it all pay-to-win. And yes, of course, he was able to rally to his cause all those disappointed with the big-poly 3D turn that was far too colorful to be honest (and its economic model at the limits of decency) of Diablo III. 10 years later, after witnessing Blizzard’s 180° turnaround for a return to the roots of the Diablo saga, Grinding Gear Games does not change its credo, and seems to want put all the knobs on 11 For PoE 2.
When Diablo is hot
The latest trailer uploaded by Grinding Gear Games plays on quantity. In three minutes, we are stuffed with a slew of information of all kinds: the New Zealand studio promises more than a hundred environments, 100 bosses, 600 monsters, 12 classes and 36 Ascendances, and still a system of simultaneous 6-player co-op. Add to that 1500 passive skills, 240 active skills and 700 equipment to perfect a dish that already looks very appetizing. Of course, the game will keep the model free-to-play of his eldest. The studio clarified that Path of Exile 2 will be a separate game from PoE 1and that the transactions made in the first opus will be common to both games.
For those whose frenzied left click is impatient to be able to feel the beast, know that a closed beta will be launched on June 7, 2024. Path of Exile 2 is planned for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and PC, and should be cross play.
