Path of Exile won players over with its extremely customizable character builds, and its sequel in early access is already poised to outdo it. Path of Exile 2 launched into early access in late 2024, giving players their first taste of the potential Diablo 4 killer. Since then, it’s gotten a series of smaller patches, but its most important update yet is about launch, and it could be a game-changer.
On April 4, Path of Exile 2 gets the Dawn of the Hunt update, bringing new character upgrade options and mechanics, but the headline feature is a whole new class that can fight at any range and even turn roaming enemies into allies. The new addition offers a more flexible playstyle than anything already in the game, plus some wild new mechanics that no other class even approaches.
