After a long time receiving criticism with the Season 1 update, Diablo 4 has now gradually realized its shortcomings and Blizzard has made a noticeable improvement move. It is the introduction of an eye-catching Season 2 update with many positive changes. However, while Diablo 4 is still struggling with self-improvement, the direct competitors of this blockbuster are showing more superiority than ever.
That is Path of Exile 2 – the version that is about to inherit the original free game Path of Exile with hundreds of thousands of gamers at the present time. Even though it won’t be released until the middle of next year, Path of Exile 2 has made a huge splash right now. At the recent ExileCon 2023 widely introduced event, Path of Exile 2 was revealed to have new transformations, changes in features, and towards elements that have never appeared in this genre, thereby making Path of Exile 2 an extremely different game. Remember, Path of Exile has maintained hundreds of thousands of players despite being out for almost a decade, and there’s no reason why Path of Exile 2 can’t replicate the same success.
Of course, the introductions are sometimes still just cliché and not really convincing. However, at least in terms of co-op mode, Path of Exile 2 is being appreciated much more. Because if Diablo 4 can only support up to 4 players working together at the same time, and is still very limited in coordination, Path of Exile 2 for up to 6 players can accompany each other in the game. challenge. Not to mention, this feature will continue to improve after the game launches. This can be considered a very important factor when remember, Diablo 4 has received countless complaints about its co-op mode, even many players have asked Blizzard to “copy” the feature. automatic dungeon matching from Diablo Immortal. Not to mention, the fact that Path of Exile 2 has more character classes is also a huge plus point of this game.
Not to mention, the somewhat rushed development of Diablo 4 has sparked many rumors that this is the reason why Diablo 4 cannot become a true blockbuster as it was expected. In addition, Diablo 4 was also pointed out that it resembles an MMORPG game rather than the inherent ARPG style. That said, once Path of Exile 2 comes out, or even a test version comes out, perhaps Diablo 4’s player count will drop even further than it is now.
