Path of Exile 2 - Dawn of the Hunt

Path of Exile 2’s next big content update, 0.2.0, has an official name – Dawn of the Hunt. It’s out on April 4th, noon PDT, for all players, but a live reveal is coming March 27th at the same time. As is tradition, Grinding Gear Games’ Jonathan and Mark Roberts will join ZiggyD for a live Q&A. Patch notes will follow afterwards.

Though a new Ascendancy for the Mercenary is seemingly inbound, the developer has showcased another in a new teaser. Based on the spear usage, it’s the Amazon, another staple of Diablo 2, which could be an Ascendancy for the Ranger. Along with spear throws, she can drop down from the sky with a lightning-infused slam.

As for other content, there are new Skill and Support Gems, new Uniques, additional Atlas Passive Skill Tree choices, and quality-of-life changes like locking your main, off-hand, or both slots. You can also expect visual and audio improvements, with Essences getting a significant glow-up. Stay tuned for more details on Dawn of the Hunt in the coming weeks.
