    It’s actually an upgraded version of the same engine, and Path of Exile 1 is getting a lot of the new tech backported.

    It was originally supposed to replace Path of Exile 1, but now they are going to exist together.

    2 will be more refined and slower, with a brand new story and 6 new acts. Should be a fun time.

      Slower? I tried to speedrun PoE once and because of a build mistake in Chapter 2 Act 3 it took me 14 hours to beat the base game before maps. Terrible time, but still.

        I believe the acts themselves will be longer and more fleshed out but there’s less of them.

        6 acts in Path of Exile 2 instead of the 10 acts that PoE1 has.
