Path of Exile 2's full release is out on December 11, and coming with it are two new classes, two new acts, a new league, tons of new monsters, bosses, battles, endgame changes, gem updates, atlas and skill tree updates, a new pinnacle boss, base types, uniques, and, I don't know, probably a kitchen sink or something. Let's go over it.

First of all, we'll have two new classes: the Shadow and the Duelist. With them, we'll get all new skill gems for daggers and swords, with tons of new builds available. Daggers introduce new mechanics around stealth, traps, shadow skills with clones that attack with you, and classic skills like blade vortex and fire trap.

The Duelist will introduce swords, and with it fan favorite skills like cyclone and hemorrhage. With swords we'll be able to use stances like blood and sand or ready stance. Add to this being able to two-hand, dual wield, or sword and board and swords look to add a huge amount of mechanical complexity.

After two years of early access, the campaign will finally be fully finished. Acts five and six will complete our story of chasing the Beast through the world, with a return to Oriath and beyond. The campaign will also feature new bespoke rare monsters with their own abilities, appearances, and even mods. In addition, the campaign will feature an introduction to the league mechanic for 1.0, Conquerors of Wraeclast.

The league will feature a base building mechanic, where you recruit armies and build up a castle.
