PATH OF EXILE 2

When Path of Exile creator Chris Wilson took the stage during ExileCon in November, I didn’t expect him to announce Path of Exile 2, a whole new campaign that overhauls most core systems and upgrades graphics. No extra costs, no divided playerbase, and every core expansion from the original will be re-integrated into the new one.

And after playing 45 minutes of the game, I can’t overstate how much it feels like a true sequel, despite technically still being the same game. It’s an improvement over the original in nearly every way, and its smart refinement of its skill system makes Path of Exile’s daunting complexity a lot more accessible – all without sacrificing an inch of depth. If anything, Path of Exile 2 is going to become even more of a theory crafter’s dream come true.
