In this guide, we'll cover 6 new game-changing features and basic gameplay improvements in Path of Exile 2, as well as the gaming experience these features bring.

With Path of Exile 2’s Early Access release coming on December 6, we’ve learned about the plethora of changes Grinding Gear Games has made to this new sequel. The team has used community feedback to not only improve the basic gameplay of the game, but also refined every aspect of the gameplay.

When previewing Path of Exile 2 trailer, you’ve noticed some substantial changes that not only help players simplify the onboarding process but also have the potential to completely change the rules of the game, allowing POE 2 to inherit the popularity of the previous game and become a true sequel. Here, we’re going to talk about the 6 key features we’ve learned so far in POE 2. Let’s get started!

Dodge Roll

First and foremost, it’s worth paying attention to a brand new mechanic, Dodge Roll. This update is a major improvement to the basic gameplay of the game. In this long-awaited sequel, Dodge Roll has no cooldown, so you can use this skill as much as you want. The introduction of this feature makes dodging no longer a passive click, making the dodging mechanism in POE 2 more different from before, improving the player’s gaming experience and making players affirm their precise gaming skills.

Moving While Attacking

GGG pays attention to details in game updates. In POE 1, players must stop to perform attack skills, but in Path Of Exile 2, players can attack while moving. This allows players to combine movement with Dodge Roll to maximize damage output. At the same time, the seamless connection and smoothness of the action are one of the important factors that attract players.

Enemy And Boss Design

In addition, players will face many difficulties in playing PoE 2. Powerful enemies will hinder the player’s progress. For example, long-range enemies are likely to team up with melee attackers, greatly increasing the damage range. But if you are attacked by many monsters, the intelligent AI in the game will prompt you to stay alert. It’s not all bad though, as you’ll have the chance to earn a ton of POE2 Currency while facing a ton of monsters ambushing you, which can be exchanged for some special gear in the game to maximize your character’s potential.

Although every boss fight in PoE 2 is a huge challenge for the developers, the developers have implemented superior boss fight design in their way. GGG’s AI boss design makes the game difficult to play against. Defeating these monsters will give you the feeling of beating Elden Ring boss for the first time, and the smart game design makes replaying the game much easier.

Microtransaction Carry-Over

In addition, it’s worth noting that Grinding Gear Games has announced that the microtransaction feature can transfer currency items from previous games to the account of the upcoming PoE 2, so you don’t have to worry about wasting your hard-earned property. In addition to this news, the company said: Fans who invest more than $500 in the original game will get PoE 2 Early Access for free. This move shows Grinding Gear Games’ commitment to thanking fans for their support and loyalty over the years, and celebrates the dedication of the games community.

Couch Co-Op

Path of Exile fans have long asked for couch co-op play, and a new feature in Path of Exile 2 fulfills that need. With the release of the new sequel, players can use two characters from one account to adventure through the world of Wraeclast, without having to create separate accounts for each player who wants to enjoy the game together.

This feature allows your friends and family to join forces to play a game together by simply connecting a second controller. This change not only enhances the game experience, but also fosters mutual affection.

Cross-Platform Confirmed

No matter which platform the game is played on, fans will be able to enjoy the game with their friends. In addition to this, characters can be played on PC and immediately taken over on consoles, and conversely characters can be played on consoles and immediately taken over on PC.

Path of Exile 2 will open an early access version on December 6, with more than a week left before release, and will be available to you soon. Grinding Gear Games has also listened to the opinions of fans and audiences to make improvements. I believe the new game will make everyone’s eyes shine!
