We are happy to present to you all, the Titan Quest 2 Road Map!

Update Frequency:
Major content updates are planned roughly every three months. While not every update will include all types of content, they may feature additions such as new masteries, content chapters, a character creator, new gameplay systems, and other improvements.

In between these major updates, we have smaller updates planned. Some of them might introduce new gameplay mechanics, improve on old ones, or completely revamp present mechanics, sometimes throwing more languages into the mix.

We plan to do hotfixes where necessary and some regular small bugfix, balancing, quality of life and multiplayer updates.

Disclaimer: This roadmap is subject to change, and we reserve the right to modify it as we see fit.

Or if you prefer reading instead -

Why are you shipping Titan Quest II in Early Access?Very early on in the project we had the idea that EA is the best format to develop this game together with you and iterate on the core mechanics. The ARPG genre is very crowded, so we think this type of iteration is necessary to give you the best possible experience.

What will be the price of the full game? The final version is set to release in full price at 49.99 on PC. This means the EA release is getting you a massive discount as it only costs EUR/USD 29.99 and has a launch discount (until August 8, 2025) to EUR/USD 23.99. Furthermore, the price will go up in incremental steps during the Early Access phase.

Will there be microtransactions?
 Whilst we will NOT do microtransactions and/or loot box shenanigans, we plan to update and release DLCs, as well as expansion packs in the future.

What will be the final release date?
We are making it dependent on the Early Access. Right now we are targeting End of 2026 for the 1.0 release of Titan Quest II.

Will Titan Quest II come to consoles?
Yes, Titan Quest II is going to be released on PlayStation  and Xbox  with the 1.0 release of the game.

Will Titan Quest II come to other PC platforms?
Currently the Early Access version is available for Steam and the Epic Game Store, as well as via GeForce Now.  We are looking into additional PC platforms for the future.

What about multiplayer?
Multiplayer is available as a preview version. It is playable with up to 4 players who will be able to enjoy it together. The multiplayer preview version gives you an idea about the multiplayer experience, but it might contain some bugs, though we strive to not have obvious blocking bugs or serious issues in there. More details about the current state can be found here:
 

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/app/1154030/discussions/3/591778249679528939/

We will keep on working to ship a comprehensive, vastly improved multiplayer experience with the 1.0 release of the game. We might add elements earlier or later, and make this dependent on the roadmap.

Will there be character customization options beyond the presets?
Yes, we plan to ship a full character creator in one of the first major Early Access updates. Expect more information to be released soon.

Will we be able to have mounts?
No, we decided not to go with a mount as this would have had a serious impact on the pacing, traversal and other mechanics.

How many masteries are there going to be in total?
We haven't nailed down a final number of masteries for 1.0. Currently, we think there will be at least 6. There is also the potential to deliver more in DLCs or expansions. We want those masteries to be more versatile and impactful than in the original Titan Quest.

Will there be PvP?
We currently have no plans for PvP.

What will endgame content look like?
Our main focus currently is creating a polished and replayable campaign. We are of course working on endgame designs internally but aren't ready to share them with you at this stage. We will update the community during the EA phase.

Will the game support modding?
There is a little bit of data modding support in there already, and we will continue to monitor demand for modding support and discuss internally what is feasible for the future.

Munich, Germany / Vienna, Austria - August 5th, 2025: The plains of Hellas are trembling, and Mount Olympus echoes with the footsteps of over 300,000 champions: Titan Quest II has arrived, and its Early Access launch is already sending shockwaves through the gaming pantheon.

In less than 72 hours, Titan Quest II has sold over 300,000 units, and the momentum shows no signs of slowing. Still surging among Steam’s and Epic Games Store's global top sellers, the game has already secured the second-highest concurrent player peak in THQ Nordic history, surpassed only by 2021’s Biomutant, released during the worldwide stay-at-home surge.

The team at Grimlore Games extends their deepest thanks to every single player who has put their trust in them and joined this Early Access odyssey — your support means the world!

With almost 6,000 Steam reviews and an 84% “Very Positive” rating, Titan Quest II is winning over ARPG veterans and newcomers alike. Players and critics are praising its myth-rich world, tactical combat, and its commitment to a microtransaction-free experience.

"Titan Quest II is a chill Greek holiday compared to the live-service complexity of ARPGs like Diablo 4 and Path of Exile 2" wrote PC Gamer.

COGConnected praised, “Actual combat flows nicely and feels excellent," further spotlighting its flexible mastery system, immersive worldbuilding, and impressive polish even in Early Access.

The Sixth Axis even called it the “return of a legend,” saying, “Titan Quest II makes a great first impression in Early Access. Its enveloping world, tough but fair combat, and deep loot and experience trees are perfectly weighted to pull you ever deeper into myth and legend.”

Built on the legacy of its legendary predecessor, Titan Quest II invites players to carve their path through a world shaped by gods, monsters, and fate. With dual masteries, powerful modifiers, handcrafted environments, and the soul of a true ARPG, it offers a heroic journey that feels both timeless and new.

As the team at Grimlore Games continues to heed the voices of its growing community, more content, refinements, and divine surprises lie ahead. The odyssey has only just begun — stay tuned for what’s next.

Titan Quest II has now stepped onto the mortal plane, available for PC in Early Access. The full 1.0 release will be priced at $49.99 / €49.99. But those who embark early on this quest will pay only $29.99 / €29.99 - and until this Friday, August 8th, a divine 20% discount will reduce the price even further to $23.99 / €23.99.

Heroes,

Welcome to another Build Example!

Before we get into it: We know you are all eagerly waiting for news regarding Titan Quest II’s release. We will have exactly that for you during the THQ Nordic Digital Showcase event on August 1st.

So tune in, we’re sure you’ll be happy to hear about what we have in store for you! Now, on to the build.

Like last month, we want to give you a more detailed look at our individual mastery combinations.

This time we will take a look at a combination of Earth and Storm, which form the Elementalist.

Crash into your enemies like lightning blinking from the skies, freeze them in place and then obliterate them by unleashing a powerful Earthquake.

Does that sound like it’s up your alley? Let’s have a look on one way to achieve this fantasy in Titan Quest II.

The build will make use of one main damaging combo with a high investment of resources. Perfect for clearing out larger packs and stronger enemies.

In addition, we use two cheaper abilities that synergize with the rest to clear out small groups or any surviving creatures.

This combo is built around the power of Earthquake, an ability that offers some nice risk and reward gameplay. The longer you channel your cast, the higher the damage and effects of the Earthquake you unleash.

Our plan to use it has four steps:

1. Get In: Since Earthquake’s effect takes place directly around us, we first need to find a way to get into the thick of it. Preferably in style, while already dealing some nice damage.

2. Survive: As previously mentioned, we will need to be able to survive for a little while in order to fully charge up our Earthquake.

3. Boom: Unleash our fully charged up Earthquake to decimate anyone around us.

4. Clean-up: We will use our other abilities to take out any creatures that survived the main combo.

For this we will use Blink. Usually an ability that helps us zoom around the battlefield quickly. Modifier system lets us tailor the ability to our needs and turn it into a juicy engage ability. We will use the following Modifiers:

• Thundercrash: Instead of teleporting around, this makes us surge into the sky and then crash down from the heavens, hitting anything in our impact-radius with decent damage.

• Cold Explosion: Spawns an explosion at our start and end position, helping us to soften enemies up even further from the get-go.

While we could focus on more traditional defenses to make us more tanky, we will choose a more fitting route for an Elementalist. Freeze all nearby enemies around us, which should give us enough time to channel up our Earthquake without getting hit too much. We will use Ice Nova with the Flash Freeze Modifier. This makes sure we always freeze, increases the duration of our freeze, but adds a hefty cooldown in return.

Now it's time to look at our main damaging ability, the Earthquake. As we said previously it charges up, which happens in stages. With every stage we reach it deals more damage and can even stun enemies (should any of them survive at least). Here we want to mainly choose Modifiers that allow us to get the biggest bang out of our cast:

• Extended Charge: This allows us to channel Earthquake for an additional stage, which results in even more damage. It also grants us Overwhelm stacks while charging up, which we can then use to boost the Earthquake itself and also synergize with other abilities.

• Heavy Impact: This modifier greatly increases Earthquake’s damage for each stack of Overwhelm we currently have. Perfect for what we are going for.

Now let’s talk about the other two abilities we make use of. Either to kill what’s left after the Earthquake, or if we engage smaller packs where we might not want to go through our full cycle of abilities.

First let’s take a look at Fissure. An earth ability that splits the ground in front of us to deal damage in a line. This is where we can see the flexibility of the Modifier system, allowing us to create a whole bunch of synergies with some clever choices. We go for the following Modifiers:

• Additional Fissures: This spawns an additional Fissure, which is great. But more importantly it serves as a requirement for our next Modifier…

• Overwhelm: Remember the Overwhelm stacks we built up while channelling Earthquake? This is where we can spend them. We consume a full set of them (which we conveniently have after fully charging up 3 stages of Earthquake) to spawn 2 more Fissures for a total of 4.

• Shockwave: This Modifier allows us to trigger a shockwave whenever our Fissures hit a stunned enemy. Since Earthquake stuns for a short duration, this works together beautifully.

Our final ability is Ice Shards, which allows us to shoot multiple small icicles. The main use here is to generate Overwhelm stacks outside of our main combo, so we can fully utilize Fissure when fighting smaller packs as well. While we could slot in any ability that generates these stacks, Ice Shards offer some nice other synergy potential we can make use of. We choose the following Modifiers:

• Torrent: An overall great Modifier that adds extra projectiles to the ability.

• Projectile Penetration: Allows our projectiles to penetrate their target and hit others behind them. Great to increase damage and reliability.

• Frost Explosion: A little extra for synergy. Whenever we hit a frozen enemy, we spawn a frost explosion. Since we already have guaranteed freeze from our Ice Nova, this is a good option for us.

Now that we have covered the active side of things, let’s take a look at what we want from our passives and gear.

This will just be a very quick overview. You could certainly customize all of this to your liking much more, but we don’t want this article to go on forever, do we?

On the Passive side, we go for the following:

• Energy: Since the main combo can be quite Energy intensive, we will invest into the following passives:

  • Earth’s Arcane Abundance increase Maximum Energy. We pick the Regen Feat to also increase Energy regeneration.

  • Storm has Arcane Influx, which increases Energy and Energy Regeneration. By choosing the Energy Feat, we also unlock the “Ether Shield” effect, which allows us to redirect some damage taken towards our Energy. Helpful for staying alive when charging up the Earthquake.

• Damage: Of course we want to scale our damage substantially. This is where most of our passive points will go

  • Earth’s Grand Magic is perfect for us. It increases our Spell Damage and even gives us extra Energy. The Feat Spell Damage and Cost gives us another hefty bonus of 30% Spell Damage, but increases their cost. Since we invested enough into Energy, we can make use of it.

  • Storm gives us Raging Mind, which increases Cast Speed and Spell Damage. It also unlocks the Rage mechanic, which increases our damage on every spell we cast for a short time. This synergizes perfectly with the more spammy Fissure/Ice Shards combo we have for clearing smaller packs.

• Defense: Lastly we want some more defense to not turn into a glass-cannon.

  • Storm Protection greatly boosts our Barrier core ability, which gives us a reliable extra layer of defense we can activate when crashing into our enemies.

For our Attributes we go for a split of Might, Knowledge and Vigor. This will indirectly scale our main damage types: Strike and Cold. It also allows us to go down a “Battlemage” fantasy for our gear for decent protection.

For our gear we will look at the following effects:

• Increased Spell Damage helps us scale all of our damage. Alternatively Strike helps us increase the bulk of our abilities' impact as well.

• Increases to our main Attributes are always good to have.

• A decent spread of defenses in the form of Resistances and Health.

Since Titan Quest II offers huge levels of customization, this is only one example on how to make this build. It provides a very strong baseline, but can be taken into many different directions.

While our character progresses we can invest deeper into all of our existing abilities to add more Modifiers and synergies to them.

For example Earthquake has the Modifier Fast Channel which decreases channel-time. Or Stone Protection, which makes us more tanky while channelling.

We could also add new supporting abilities into the mix. Cyclone would offer more utility and damage in an area. The auras Storm Nimbus and Earth Attunement could further boost us in different ways.

These are just a few examples, though. The choice will be yours!

We hope to see all of you during the THQ Nordic Digital Showcase on August 1st.

Heroes,

As you already know, in Titan Quest II you will create your own class by utilizing aspects of two masteries. We want to give you a more detailed look at this by highlighting individual mastery combinations.
Expect more of these over the next weeks, as we are approaching the long-awaited Early Access.

In this example we will take a look at a combination of Rogue and Earth, which form the Ashstalker.

Let’s talk about the active skill tree on the Rogue side, where we will put a lot of our points.

We will be heavily focused on the Trick Shot skill. This is a fast, target-penetrating projectile attack.
We want to use this to deal very targeted damage and with our Modifier system we customize it to to disrupt our foes.

We add the following modifiers:

• Interrupt: When we hit a channelling enemy, they get stunned. Very nifty when trying to disable channeling abilities like enemy heals or charged up attacks.

• Counter: Let’s double down on this aspect! With this Modifier, channelling enemies take hugely increased damage, making it the perfect “snipe” in the right situation.

• Enhanced Critical Hit: Hugely increases our crit chance to round things out and synergize with some of our other abilities (more on that in a second).

To further boost the damage and critical chance of our abilities, we will be using the following supporting skills:

• Preparation: An aura that increase damage for us and our allies. We customize it to synergize with our plan: The Enhanced Critical Hits modifier helps us further here.

• Mark For Death: This skill lets us mark a single target. By choosing the Shadow Dagger modifier we’ll deal massive damage when critically hitting the marked target. If timed while an enemy is channeling, this has the potential to get a super juicy super-crit! Note: The keen eyed amongst you might see the “3” extra damage for this Modifier and I can already hear your sceptical mumblings!

• Rightfully so! This is just a UI-Bug and the damage of course is much more than that).

On the passive side we want to create good scaling to support our choices.

We will mainly focus on 2 passives for this:

• Accuracy: This passive increases our damage and crit chance, which already is a great combination for us. But here’s the catch: The feat High Critical Chance synergizes very nicely with our plans. It increases our crit chance by a hefty 100%, but reduces the crit-damage in return. Luckily, we partially mitigate this drawback by our other choices! Remember the Shadow Dagger modifier we just talked about? That now triggers every time!

• Deft Hands: This offers a good set of bonusses throughout. Damage? Yes please. Attack and Cast Speed? Never hurts. By choosing the Critical Hit Chance we get exactly what we need and further build our synergies.

If we position ourselves well, each of these Trick Shots should be able to damage many enemies, but as its area of effect is in a thin line, we could use a clearing skill from Earth to help us get through light mobs more quickly.

Let’s pick the Earth Enchantment aura to benefit both our fire and physical damages. As our Trick Shot does pierce damage, this should be a clean synergy. But having 2 auras early in the game can be highly taxing to our energy pool, so putting a point or two into Conservation to reduce this energy reservation is a good idea.

As for our mob-clearing skill, let’s go with Roiling Magma. Who doesn’t like a big ball of fire to dispose of all those pesky swarming enemies? We go for the following modifiers:

• Overwhelm: Once we spec into this, whenever we use our Weapon Attack we gain a stack of Overwhelm. When we have 3 stacks, our Roiling Magma can consume them for a super charged shot.

• Enhanced Ailment: With this Modifier we have a higher chance of setting enemies on fire as well. That’s very useful against light mobs in case they survive our initial shot somehow. The burning stacks should finish them.

Now that we have our skill trees locked in, let’s quickly talk about weapon choice.

Since we want to build these Overwhelm stacks quickly, it makes a lot of sense to opt into dual-wielding daggers for their fast attack speed. That also perfectly fits the style of an Ashstalker!

We will definitely put some points into Agility. We can also split it with Might to boost both physical and fire damages with our connected meta-attributes (Fitness and Resolve).
A more focused build is also possible. While splitting is good for versatility, as enemies have varying damage resistance profiles, focusing on less attributes gives you larger advantages in certain areas of the game.

The choice is yours to make!

To summarize:

• We use Trick Shot to deal high critical damage, especially to channeling enemies. With this we can even interrupt their abilities, helping us to control the battlefield in a very rogue-ish way.

• Roiling Magma helps us to clear out light mobs, especially after we charge it up by swiflty attacking with our daggers a couple of times.

• Our 2 auras (Earth Enchantment and Preperation) give us a constant boost. Finally Marked for Death allows us to pick and obliterate a single target, if needed.

Here’s a short clip about how this build looks in action:

Youtube Link to Crit Trick Shot Ashstalker - Rogue and Earth

Oh, and one more thing:

As the experts amongst you might already suspect, many of the passives in the Earth mastery will boost spells, but not weapon attacks. This lacks synergy with our main ability, Trick Shot!
That could be a problem for us in the long term. Unless… we turn it into a spell! The Trick Shot Modifier “Shadow Dagger” does exactly that.

That’s all for this one. Of course, this is only one way to build an Ashstalker and as you progress through the game you could add a lot more abilities and passives to this build.

We can’t wait to see what kinds of builds you all come up with.

• Combat Feel: Some of you described combat as a bit "sluggish" or "slow." Our goal is to make combat more tactical and meaningful, but it should never feel sluggish. We're looking into improvements for this aspect.
  
• Aiming: Some mentioned difficulty aiming abilities, especially with bows. We've already made improvements to this system, but will keep an eye on it.
  
• Balance: This is an ongoing process. Some abilities might feel too strong, others not impactful enough or too expensive. Your feedback is invaluable as we continue tweaking these values.
  
• Performance: While most felt performance was in a decent state, some experienced issues. We're constantly monitoring and improving this. But some of the improvements to performance might happen when we close in on our 1.0 launch. It’s just much better to optimize when you have all of the pieces in front of you, without new ones getting added and existing ones being moved around constantly.

• Keyboard Control Type: We're adding a first-launch option to select your preferred control scheme with automatic binding adjustments. Either using the Mouse to move, or the WASD keys. This also adjusts some settings like what direction you dodge in to better fit WASD, if you choose that.
  
• Left Click Attack: This one’s for the Titan Quest old-school fans. You'll be able to choose between the "Classic Scheme" (movement and attack on left mouse) or the new scheme (movement left, attack right) at startup and don’t have to go to the controls to manually adjust it.
  
• Unspent Points: We're adding visual effects to make unspent points more noticeable in the Mastery Screen.
