“It allows us to have people still be able to use their old characters and all their old purchases, so it’s no bad feels there,” he explains. Grinding Gear Games’ Co-Founder Chris Wilson tells Inverse that the core rationale behind this decision is that the developers don’t want to fracture their community and still want to support the original Path of Exile. Despite that, some gameplay improvements will carry over to the original, and Path of Exile 2 will share a launch client and endgame with Path of Exile, which is still popular seven years after its launch. In Path of Exile 2’s case, the sequel offers a completely new campaign with unique weapons and monsters. Overwatch 2will also do something similar by sharing multiplayer and new heroes with its predecessor. So far, we’ve seen Hitman 3 incorporate the levels from Hitman and Hitman 2 into one “World of Assassination” trilogy that players can access through one application.
