For those looking for an alternative to Diablo 4 and Path of Exile 2 on Steam, there is a possibility to play a new ARPG. With Titan Quest 2 you can now loot and level up in an ancient world full of myths and gods.
What kind of game is Titan Quest 2? On the evening of August 1, 2025, THQ Nordic spontaneously released Titan Quest 2 in Early Access on Steam. The action RPG is an alternative to Diablo 4, Path of Exile 2, and Last Epoch.
The predecessor, Titan Quest, was released in 2006 and the latest installment aims to pick up right where it left off. Instead of demons and hell, Titan Quest 2 focuses on ancient Greece as a setting, full of monsters and gods from mythology.

Flexible Class System and Beautiful Beaches
What makes Titan Quest 2 so special? The biggest unique feature is the setting and atmosphere. Unlike Diablo and Path of Exile, Titan Quest 2 perfectly matches the summer. On beautiful beaches and in cities and deserted ruins, you will battle with Cyclopes or Centaurs.
The class system relies on so-called masteries, of which you can combine 2 to build your character. Each mastery is supposed to have strengths and weaknesses that you must consider for builds.
The developers also emphasize challenging action-RPG fights
, in which enemies cooperate and combine abilities. Additionally, the campaign is said to focus on world exploration and puzzles.
How is Titan Quest 2 currently being received? On Steam, the game has received 770 reviews so far (as of August 2, 2025, 09:30), and 84% of them are positive, so the game is doing quite well so far. Especially the closeness to the original and the old-school feeling are praised.
- Matt writes (via Steam):
In a time when live-service ARPGs flood you with loot and feel more like a spreadsheet, Titan Quest 2 is a bold and daring message to fans of the old ARPG formula.
- puncleV (via Steam) compares it to PoE2 and Diablo 4:
After Diablo 4 and PoE2, it feels very good. The mastery tree seems boring in comparison to PoE2 (although less overwhelming), but very good compared to D4.
- bup (via Steam) warns players in his review, as there seems to be little content due to Early Access:
I STRONGLY recommend waiting for future updates. Currently, you only get about 3–4 hours of fun before reaching the end of the available content.
Titan Quest 2 seems to be laying a good foundation that can be expanded with future updates and could be especially interesting for fans of traditional ARPGs.
How much does Titan Quest 2 cost? Until August 8, 2025, you can get Titan Quest 2 with a 20% discount for €23.99. The regular price of the game will be €29.99. There is currently no roadmap for Early Access.
