Grinding Gear Games, udvikleren af det succesfulde action-RPG Path of Exile, har som en del af dette års ExileCon annonceret, at det kommende Path of Exile 2 nu vil være en selvstændig efterfølger og ikke bare en overbygning på det forrige spil.
Vedrørende beslutningen om at gøre spillet til en selvstændig efterfølger sagde studiemedstifter Jonathan Rogers: "Path of Exile 2's scope has continued to grow and grow. This thing is just freaking huge. There was a point where we realised that our plan to replace Path of Exile 1 with Path of Exile 2 would essentially be getting rid of a game that people love for no real reason. So we made a decision: Path of Exile 1 and 2 will be separate, with their own mechanics, balance, endgames, and leagues."
Rogers forklarede også, at det vil være muligt at anvende indhold fra Path of Exile i den kommende efterfølger.
"Everything you have ever purchased or will purchase in the future will be usable in both games unless it's hyper-specific to the content of one of them. You can't transform into a bear in PoE1, so a reskin of your bear form isn't going to work. But you absolutely can equip the awesome sword skin you got and use all your stash tabs."
Rogers går i dybden med en masse andet om det kommende spil, hvilket du kan se mere om i keynoten her.
Path of Exile 2 udkommer ikke lige foreløbig, men en lukket beta er planlagt til den 7. juni 2024.
