Explore the dark, twisted realm of Wraeclast when Path of Exile 2 Early Access launches today on PS5. With extensive endgame systems, customizable skill and build progression, new Ascendancies, and more – there’s lots to explore and uncover. Players have six character classes, each of whom has been cast aside for various reasons.
A redefined combat system
Command legions of the dead from a distance, or wield a hammer, bow, or go full-on artillery. Six classes stand before you, each one a gateway to untold carnage:
- Monk: Swift and deadly, a blur of motion that leaves nothing but mangled bodies in its wake.
- Sorceress: A master of destruction, weaving spells that tear through enemies and scorch the earth itself.
- Warrior: A savage force, wielding deadly weapons with brutal efficiency, tearing foes apart with raw power.
- Ranger: Silent, swift, and deadly, a hunter in the shadows who strikes with lethal precision.
- Mercenary: Crossbow in hand, ready to bring ruin from afar, a relentless force of calculated destruction.
- Witch: A dark sorceress who commands the minions of the abyss, bending them to her will as they tear apart all in their path.
With the new Uncut Gems, your power knows no bounds. Unlock a vast array of skills, mixing and matching Support Gems that transform your abilities — making them faster, deadlier, and more destructive, depending on your playstyle.
Epic boss fights
Every step leads you closer to unspeakable horrors. The Iron Count will test your resolve with a barrage of vicious attacks. And beware of Zicoatl, the Warden of the Core, whose snaking heads writhe with malice, ready to strike down anyone who dares challenge it.
And if you think you’ve mastered it all, completing Act 1 through Act 3 will unlock Cruel Difficulty for the endgame which requires you to complete the campaign all over again. Expect a whole new level with more brutal challenges, but better rewards for those who can survive the carnage.
In-depth endgame systems
Seven distinct endgame systems await. Players can also access special passive trees which boost the reward of your maps and change how various mechanics work in the endgame. To become stronger, complete the Trials of Ascendancy. The Trial of Sekhemas will challenge your limits and grant unimaginable power that boosts character progression. The Trial of the Chaos God is another way of Ascending but requires a token from a strange entity. As you enter each room of the Trial, the stakes are high. The same also goes for the downsides as it becomes more perilous than the last.
Co-op with a friend
You are not alone in this, though. Journey into the deadly continent of Wraeclast with a companion, or go in a group of six.
Take the first steps into Path of Exile 2 Early Access on PS5 today and face the horrors that await.
