Return to the classic mythology-inspired setting of Titan Quest and go toe-to-toe with legendary monsters as you journey across a fantastical reimagining of ancient Greece.
Nemesis, Goddess of Retribution, is out of control. She is corrupting the Threads of Fate and condemning all those who oppose her to eternal punishment - including you. Take up your weapon, fight alongside gods, and change fate itself in order to stop Nemesis, free those she’s punished, and weave your own epic tale.
Set out on an adventure worthy of myth that takes you from picturesque beaches, to serene Greek temples, to places where no mortal has ever ventured, including the mysterious realm of the Moirai themselves.Battle classic creatures from Greek myth and the original Titan Quest, including Ichthians, Centaurs, Satyrs, Harpies, Sirens, Gryphons, and many, many more.
Pay close attention to your surroundings! The world is full of mysteries and secrets to discover. Legendary monsters lurk in hidden groves, and you never know when you will end up face-to-face with a god.Visit memorable towns full of life and intrigue. The conversations you engage in and the items you find along your journey can lead to surprising discoveries, or they might just hold the key to stopping Nemesis. This is your adventure.
Heroic deeds require heroic effort. The enemies you face are far from defenseless - dodge and counter their attacks, then overwhelm them with a well-timed flurry of blows. Powerful rituals allow you to freely control the game’s difficulty, while deep character customization systems ensure that there’s always a good reason to replay.
In Titan Quest II, you’ll forge your path to heroism by choosing between unique masteries and combining any two to create a class that’s all your own. At the start of Early Access, you’ll have Earth, Storm, and Warfare masteries at your fingertips, with even more options arriving in future updates to keep your journey fresh and full of potential.
The latest dev diary gives a thrilling preview of some skills - and the game-changing modifiers that can radically transform them. Modifiers aren’t just passive tweaks (well, some of them actually are but for sure not all of them); they can turn an attack, like a sweeping strike, into a powerful channeled whirlwind attack. With these, you can take customization to a whole new level, building a character that reflects your playstyle far beyond the usual skill combinations.
Our mission? To make you feel like a hero blessed by the gods themselves, with the power to shape your fate. Choose your blessings wisely and wield them in the epic battle against Nemesis!
Combining two masteries to form a class
In this update, we want to share a little information about our masteries. In Titan Quest II, just like in the first Titan Quest, you will be combining two masteries to form your own class.
In the initial Early Access release, you will have access to the Earth, Storm and Warfare masteries, with many more coming as we drop our updates. You’ll be picking these early in the campaign, as we want you to experience the possible synergies between them without much of a gap between the two unlocks.
Our overarching goal is to make you feel like you’re a hero blessed by the gods themselves, possessing superhuman powers. Improving and growing your powers will be a perilous journey, but this will be necessary in order to survive against Nemesis.
As for the actual mechanics, you will be able to equip a maximum of 10 skills in your ability bar. This will allow for a wide range of playstyles, such as ones where you focus on a primary damage skill and a handful of support skills, to builds where you utilize several alternate primary damage skills with several support skills. Titan Quest II will greatly reward you when you work out skill synergies, but will also cater to those who heavily invest into a more limited toolkit.
In past blog posts we already mentioned that we will be offering separate active and passive points within skill trees, and that your active abilities can be customized via modifiers. So this time, let’s talk a bit more about what’s in the masteries instead, and we’ll also show some modifier examples.
Earth
Combine fire and earth magic to leave the battlefield in ruins.
- Many of your abilities and modifiers revolve around setting the battlefield ablaze and engulfing your enemies in flames.
- Utilize fire in a controlled manner, or completely let go of any regard for safety and sacrifice your own health in favor of maximum destruction.
- Cause enemies to burn over time.
- Trying to not get burned, but still tempted by this mastery? Take control over earth and rock to shake things up a little, such as with earthquakes
Fissure is a line AoE skill where you break the ground open in front of you, dealing strike damage. With the Lava Fissure modifier, the fissure gets filled with lava, now dealing fire damage as well, at the cost of extra energy.
Adding in the Additional Fissures modifier will reduce your damage, but spawn extra fissures, helping you cover a much larger area.
Storm
Take control over the battlefield with the powers of ice and lightning.
- From area of effect abilities that regularly deal damage, to modifying abilities to also electrocute enemies on hit, fighting with the power of Storm will result in a battlefield full of thunder and lightning!
- Use ice abilities to chill or even freeze your enemies, giving you total control over what happens in the next few moments.
- Utilize lightning to shock and electrocute your enemies, locking them in place.
Cyclone is a static circular AoE skill where you create a whirling storm, dealing cold damage. With the Blizzard modifier, more damage gets dealt, and Chill/Freeze has a chance to be applied to enemies.
The Personal Storm modifier puts a smaller version of Cyclone around your character, following you around, allowing you to either stack the cyclones, or to hit more enemies at once.
Warfare
Display your expertise in combat, becoming the ultimate warrior.
- Warfare features attacks for all weapon types, giving you significant freedom to design your build.
- This even includes abilities specially designed for ranged weapons other than magic staves. A warrior can be a juggernaut wading into the fray or one who specializes in attacking from afar.
- Support abilities help with getting into and staying in close combat, such as via leaping into battle, or stunning enemies nearby with a powerful stomp.
Leap is a versatile mobility skill, allowing you to jump into combat, or out of trouble, while dealing some strike damage. The Cooldown Charge mod allows you to cast Leap twice in a row, at the cost of a longer cooldown.
Seismic Leap will increase your damage on landing, while also dealing damage at your launch position.
Bringing It All Together
When picking your abilities, we want you to think about how to form interconnections between your two masteries. We are ensuring this via global mechanics that all masteries will feature in some form - sometimes via base abilities, other times via modifiers. For example, you could build up status stacks with a Warfare ability, and then consume the stacks with a Storm ability for a more powerful effect there.
Different masteries will be offering different global mechanics, allowing for unique interactions between specific mastery pairs that not all others can cover.
We will soon be sharing some more gameplay footage, so stay tuned--you will get to see all of this in action!
