Path of Exile 2 is a game that a lot of PC and console players are looking forward to. Grinding Gear Games will launch its Early Access phase on December 6th, and below you can find some videos, showcasing over 3 hours of gameplay footage from it.
Path of Exile 2 will feature a massively improved engine for graphics and physics over its predecessor. And, as I’ve already said, it looks better than Diablo 4. Furthermore, the game will have 19 new ascendancy classes. These characters are a new set of Exiles who fall into the same class archetypes as those in the original game.
It’s also worth noting that Path of Exile 2 will no longer be an expansion of Path of Exile 1. Instead, Path of Exile 2 will be a new standalone game, with separate game balance, systems and future expansions. Also, players won’t be able to transfer their characters and items from the first Path of Exile.
PoE 2 will offer two control methods on PC. Players can use a traditional point-and-click system, or WADS controls. And, to be honest, I’m kind of interested to see how the WADS controls will be.
Finally, the game will support cross-play and cross-progression between consoles and PC. As such, you’ll be able to play with your friends, no matter the platform they game on.
A couple of days ago, the devs shared the game’s official PC system requirements. And, as you can see, you won’t need a high-end PC system to run it.
Since the following videos show content from the first Act, they might contain some spoilers. So, avoid them if you want to experience the game yourselves.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
