Exciting New Features in Dawn of the Hunt
Grinding Gear Games has officially announced the much-anticipated Dawn of the Hunt update for Path of Exile 2, set to launch on April 4. This update marks the first significant content drop during the early access phase of the acclaimed action role-playing game (ARPG). The fans of the franchise have plenty to look forward to, starting with the introduction of a brand new class—the Huntress.
The Huntress Class and Its Unique Abilities
The Huntress is a versatile character designed for both ranged and melee combat, wielding a spear with finesse. A standout feature of this class is her ability to tame beasts she encounters during her adventures, allowing her to summon these creatures as companions. Notably, these tamed beasts retain any modifications they had while in combat. This addition offers players a new layer of strategic depth, as they can build a team around their personalized creature companions.
Expanded Gameplay Features and Crafting Options
The Dawn of the Hunt update doesn’t just stop at new classes. Players can expect fresh ascendancy options, new skills, support gems, and unique items, all aimed at revitalizing build crafting. Moreover, new endgame features including additional map types and mechanics will enhance the overall gameplay experience. The crafting systems are also getting an upgrade, providing more effective ways to enhance loot drops. Additionally, the towers, a vital component of the game, are receiving a rework designed to simplify preparation for map exploration.
With the introduction of these mechanics and a new league for players who wish to start afresh, the Dawn of the Hunt promises to be a transformative update for Path of Exile 2 enthusiasts. Be sure to mark your calendars for April 4!
