Path of Exile launched as a sort of spiritual successor to Diablo 2 when the reception of Diablo 3 was shaky, and from there it evolved to the point that there is now a new standalone sequel coming in the form of Path of Exile 2, which is a bigger and improved version of the original. While Path of Exile 2 doesn't have the massive 10 Acts of the original, it does promise to shake up the formula in big ways, especially by adding a whopping total of 5 classes to the current game's total, but actually, 6 will be entirely new. This is because Path of Exile 2 is cutting the Scion, and there may be several reasons for this.
