Diablo meets Greek mythology as beloved classic ARPG returns

pcgamesn.com:

Titan Quest 2 brings back the beloved mythology-led ARPG from 2006 with a brand new sequel for the modern day. The first Titan Quest remains one of the best games like Diablo that launched in the wake of Diablo 2, bringing the ancient Greek mythos seen in games like Age of Mythology and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey to the action-RPG space with a gorgeous world, rich character building, robust multiplayer options, and of course plenty of loot. Now, Titan Quest 2 promises to follow up on that legacy with another rival to the likes of Diablo 4 and Path of Exile 2.

Revealed at the THQ Digital Nordic showcase on August 11, 2023, Titan Quest 2 tasks players with taking up arms and joining the fight against Nemesis, Goddess of Retribution. The announcement comes alongside a stunning cinematic trailer showing armored warriors marching through the streets of ancient Greece, before fiery spirits descend from the heavens as the sky parts to herald the arrival of Nemesis.

The first Titan Quest, helmed by Age of Empires co-creator Brian Sullivan with a script from Braveheart screenwriter Randall Wallace, was a great spin on the Diablo formula. While it didn’t do anything truly revolutionary, it gave fans a welcome adventure five years after the release of Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction and another five prior to the eventual arrival of Diablo 3.

Titan Quest received a special ten-year anniversary edition in 2016 that combines it with its Immortal Throne expansion alongside improved multiplayer tools, mod support through Steam Workshop, and even some new heroes and bosses along the way. It maintains a 91% positive Steam rating, and even got three additional expansions branching out into other mythological areas in the forms of Titan
