This is what awaits you in Affliction:
- The Affliction Challenge League- In the Affliction League, you will meet the Wisps that will invite you to enter too cramped passes leading to the Viridian Wildwood. A vile affliction has covered this forest of a disturbing darkness. You will have to discover the mysteries of the forest to stop the source of the Affliction.
- The Viridian WildwoodWhen you approach the darkness, your Wisps burn the affliction that envelops the forest. Be careful, because your Wisps only have a limited amount of energy before running out and returning to Wraeclast.
- Check the challenge and reward- On returning from Wildwood, the Wisps saved by the Affliction disperse into the environment and take place in randomly chosen monsters, increasing their power and even their reward. The different types of Wisps have different effects and sometimes more than one type inhabits a single monster, making the fight even more difficult and rewarding.
- Classes Wildwood Ascendancy- During the exploration of Wildwood, choose which of the Viandanti Azmeri complete to unlock one of the three new classes of Ancestry that you will have in addition to your class of Normal Ascende.
- New precious rewards- The Affliction CHallenge League offers different types of rewards. The monsters you fight throughout Wraeclast can be influenced by the Wisps you brought back from Viridian Wildwood, drastically increasing the quality and quantity of items that drop. Path of Exile: Affliction also contains over 15 new unique objects.
- The return of Ultimatum- Ultimatum is finally getting central. The Trialmaster is back and will offer you the opportunity to undertake a mortal test of Vaal in exchange for great rewards. If you pass the test, you will be offered to do double or nothing. Do you accept risk and aim for an even better reward? Or are you satisfied with the winnings already obtained? We have made a complete rebalancing of Ultimatum and have added many new modifiers, passive abilities of Atlas, Keystones and rewards, including New and Reworked Uniques

The Mercenary is a class of characters that brandies the crossbow in Path of Exile 2. This class has gameplay similar to that of shooters, as it changes to the whale flight and ammunition types to inflict fatal combo attacks on its enemies. Path of Exile 2 supports WASD movement, which allows you to aim and attack in a different direction than the one in which you move. You can switch from click-to-move to WASD at any time.
Path of Exile 2will be available soon for PC MacOS, Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5.
