Path of Exile 2 seeks to be an overall improved and more polished version of the original game launched over ten years ago, dramatically updating graphics and gameplay along the way. Nearly every aspect of the original is touched upon in some way, with a big example being how Path of Exile 2's skills and their linked support Gems work. Another massive change comes in the form of Path of Exile 2's classes, which are nearly double the original's in terms of numbers, and they offer plenty of variety with each class having its own specialization and accompanying Ascendancy classes to further spec into. With a continued focus on live-service elements, Ascendancy classes are precisely what Path of Exile 2 can work with to create exciting seasonal offerings.
