The centerpiece of the sequel is its seven-act campaign, set twenty years after the events of the first game. Wraeclast has evolved into a more dangerous and mysterious land, filled with new factions, powerful enemies, and morally complex challenges. Players will explore a wide variety of environments, from decaying ruins to untamed wilderness, each carefully designed to convey a sense of history and danger. Through environmental storytelling and dynamic encounters, the game deepens its narrative, making exploration and progression feel meaningful and immersive. By running alongside the original campaign, Path of Exile 2 allows players to experience the world from multiple perspectives, extending replayability and engagement.Character progression has been significantly reworked to offer more flexibility and experimentation. The passive skill tree remains a core feature, preserving the franchise’s signature complexity, but the skill gem system has been redesigned. Support gems are now directly integrated with skills, reducing dependence on specific gear setups and making build creation more approachable. This allows players to experiment freely, creating unique builds tailored to their preferred playstyle while still offering depth and challenge for veteran theorycrafters.
