More loot and more skeletons to burn
It’s a new year, and today developer Grinding Gear Games debuted a new trailer for its upcoming dungeon-crawling sequelPath of Exile 2.
The newPath of Exilewas revealed back in 2019,right on the heels ofDiablo IV. Still keeping the dungeon-crawling, loot-grabbing spirit alive,Path of Exile 2‘s trailer today gives us a better look at some of the locales we’ll be visiting, and they sure do look pretty.
You can get a greater sense of what they look like in action with thein-depth gameplay walkthrough also revealed today, but these visuals are pretty striking. The caravan aspect in particular is cool—there’s a part where you’re fighting across a bridge while the massive wagons drift underneath, and it really adds a sense of scale to what’s happening. It’s got kind of a dark fantasyFury Roadvibe, y’know?
I’m admittedly not as well-versed inPath of Exileas I am with other loot games, but itseems to have found a sizeable audience. The sequel seems like a good time to get even more folks like me onboard, even if it’s now competing with both aDiablosequel anda remaster ofDiablo II. It all just means more loot for the loot god.
Path of Exile 2still doesn’t have a release date,though on its siteGrinding Gear Games says it doesn’t expect to start a beta until “2022 at the earliest.” Until then, there’s also anew update coming to basePath of Exileto tide players over.
