A development build for the highly anticipated action RPG, Titan Quest 2, has reportedly leaked online. This leak provides a glimpse into the game's features, including gameplay footage on the Steam Deck. For fans eagerly awaiting the sequel, this offers some early information on what to expect.
A Long-Awaited Sequel
Fans of the original Titan Quest, released in 2006, have been waiting nearly two decades for a sequel. The game, known for its fast-paced Diablo-like gameplay and unique dual-class system, has garnered a dedicated following. Titan Quest's influence even extends to Grim Dawn, as some of its developers later formed Crate Entertainment, the creators of that popular ARPG.
Leak Details
According to reports from Insider Gaming, the leaked build appears to be a beta version used for internal testing. Reddit users who have played the leaked build have noted that it retains the dual-class system from the original game. However, skills now feature modifiers, similar to Diablo 3, which are unlocked as you level up. This system seems to simplify the skill tree mechanics found in both Titan Quest and Grim Dawn, encouraging more experimentation by allowing players to swap modifiers.
Skill System and Complexity
While Diablo 3's skill system is not without its drawbacks, it did streamline the experience for new ARPG players. It lets players try out different skills and requires them to swap builds to achieve maximum efficiency, encouraging more experimentation, which might be at the cost of complex customization.
