Path of Exile 2 is Grinding Gear Games' free-to-play, dark fantasy hack-and-slash action-RPG, a sequel to the first game. Arriving with a separate story and cast of characters, it runs on the same servers as the original, sharing both games' economy and player base. While preserving the Path of Exile series' most recognizable feature, its massive, complex passive skill tree and deep item/crafting systems, PoE2 offers a slower, more tactical combat pace (adding a dodge-roll, among other changes). The game's seasonal 'League' system refreshes the game world with new mechanics and content every few months, making it one of the longest-running and most frequently updated titles in the action-RPG genre.
