Path of Exile 2_02

Path of Exile 2, Grinding Gear Games’ standalone follow-up to its acclaimed free-to-play action RPG, will enter early access late this year. While we’ve seen the Ranger, Druid and Mercenary in action, the latest gameplay walkthrough covers the Witch and her diverse playstyle. Check it out below.

In the current game, the Witch is your spell-caster who can branch off into three Ascendancies – Necromancer, Elementalist and Occultist. However, Path of Exile 2’s version wraps several of their mechanics into one class. Summoning doesn’t require a separate Skill Gem – you can pick up a weapon, equip it and get some summons immediately.

These summons are customizable with different skills. Furthermore, you can also have temporary summons like zombies and scorpions, the former by casting a skill on corpses and the latter by killing enemies with another called Unearth. Contagion and Essence Drain return and can interact with the new mechanics. For example, casting the former and killing an enemy with Unearth will summon a scorpion that spreads Contagion on hit.

Check out the walkthrough below. Path of Exile 2 is coming to PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. It will support couch co-op on consoles with crossplay and cross-progression on all platforms.
