Path of Exile 2 gets surprise announcement on ExileCon

Grinding Gear Games has announced the sequel to its popular dungeon crawler action role-playing game Path of Exile. The developer showed off Path of Exile 2 and released the first trailer for the game, which you can watch at the annual ExileCon event.

The trailer starts with a lending hero who escapes his execution, then transitions to a traditional top-down view and shows off new enemies and abilities in the game. The dark and terrible enemies and environment of the first game seem to be back again this time, but the trailer gradually fades out, revealing a character running on the ship, which implies that the player may go to new distant land this time.

The game will feature a new seven-act storyline, and the tempting phrase "one game, two battles." Players can choose to play Path of Exile 2 or the original game, but both will lead to the same ending. Path of Exile 2 will also add the same content as Path of Exile.

Path of Exile 2 will be equipped with 19 new ascendant classes that will have the same prototypes as the Exiles in the original game, but with different features. A new POE Exalted Orb system will also be introduced to replace the previous skill system and allow players to customize at the same level without encountering the troubles of the old system.

Grinding Gear Games clearly states on the Path of Exile 2 website that the game has not yet been released. However, it does mention that developers hope to start the beta as early as the second half of 2020 and that the development of Path of Exile 2 will not slow down the regular three-month expansion cycle that players have become the original game. You can also buy POE Trade Currency, which is cheap and easy to use in MMOAH. Recently, their website offers a 5% discount on POE Trade related products.
