Grinding Gear Games Reveals New Path Of Exile 2 Shadow Class, And More

We just a little over a month until Path of Exile 2 officially launches and is made available to everyone. Over the weekend, Grinding Gear Games shared details of the launch, including the game’s complete campaign, the introducion of the Shadow class, and a new Ascendancy for the Duelist.

With the full launch of the ARPG, players will have access to 10 playable classes and 26 Ascendancy classes. There will also be a total of 320 skill and over 400 items for players to build their characters with while exploring more than 150 endgame maps.

The launch version of the game will also feature more than 70 new points of interest and 23 campaign battles in Siege Rival Faction. Moreover, players will be able to return to Oriath in Act 5, where they must deal with the Twilight Order and a beast.

As for the new class, the Shadow is a Stealth class designed to execute ambushes and chain deadly attacks. The Shadow is capable of laying traps that will detonate in the order they’ve been placed. There are eight different types of traps, so players will be able to create some interesting combinations.

That’s now all the Shadow is capable of either. They can also summon copies of themselves, or Shades, that they can use to trick enemies.

For Duelist players, the Knight Ascendancy allows for the use of War Banners and mounted combat. And, as a knight, they’ll also have a Squire capable of using melee Skill Gems.

The new content will be available with the full launch on December 11.
