Released this week, Titan Quest II hit a 27K all-time peak (25K day-one) and sits at 80% ‘Very Positive’ reviews, proving ARPG fans still crave Greek-myth loot hunts.
What’s in Early Access
The current Early Access build delivers an estimated 15 to 20 hours of gameplay, offering a full introductory campaign experience with plenty to explore. Players start with access to four distinct masteries, each opening up different playstyles when combined via the game’s returning dual-mastery system. Online co-op is available from day one, although developers have flagged it as being in an early preview state, so performance and features may vary.
Skill systems have been overhauled compared to the original Titan Quest II, introducing better differentiation between active and passive abilities. There’s also a new layer of character progression in the form of divinity points, which add extra flexibility when shaping a build.
Titan Quest 2 System Requirements
Minimum:
- Windows 10/11 (64-bit),
- Intel Core i5-8600K or AMD Ryzen 5 2600X,
- 16 GB RAM,
- AMD RX 6700 XT or NVIDIA RTX 2070 (8 GB VRAM),
- SSD storage (50 GB),
- DirectX 12
Recommended:
- Intel Core i5-12400 or AMD Ryzen 5 5600X,
- 32 GB RAM,
- NVIDIA RTX 3070 Ti / RTX 4070 or AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT (12 GB VRAM),
- SSD storage (50 GB),
- DirectX 12
These requirements put the game well within reach of most modern gaming PCs, but the 16 to 32 GB RAM requirement and insistence on an SSD are worth noting.
How It Plays
At its core, Titan Quest II retains the franchise’s defining feature: the dual-mastery system, letting you combine two masteries into a custom class. Each mastery brings its own set of revamped skill trees, with abilities now divided more clearly into active and passive categories.
A newly introduced divinity system provides additional upgrade paths, offering more flexibility for character optimization as players progress. The campaign focuses on manual exploration, with quests marked by approximate areas on the map rather than exact GPS-style indicators. This design pushes players to uncover locations naturally, relying on environmental clues and the classic “fog of war” reveal mechanic.
The game features native support for Xbox controllers, with most inputs functioning as expected. Some players have pointed out minor quirks when interacting with the UI or picking up items, but overall controller support is solid.
Titan Quest 2 Reviews
Initial traction has been strong. The game hit a peak of 27,099 concurrent players according to SteamDB, a solid turnout for a niche ARPG launching in Early Access. With more than 4,800 reviews in and a stable 80% approval rating, early player feedback is broadly positive.
Developers have committed to regular updates during the Early Access phase. Monthly patches are planned to handle bug fixes, balancing, and performance tuning. Larger content updates are scheduled to arrive approximately every three months. The first major patch, expected in September, is set to introduce new bosses and targeted quality-of-life improvements based on community feedback.
Pricing and Editions
The Early Access edition is currently available at a launch discount: $23.99 instead of the standard $29.99. That offer runs through August 8. There’s also a Titan Quest Franchise Bundle available, which includes prior entries in the series as well as the new sequel and its soundtrack.
The soundtrack is also sold separately for those who just want the music. Importantly, the developers have confirmed that the game will not feature microtransactions. Any additional paid content in the future will be delivered in the form of full expansion packs, released after the game exits Early Access and hits version 1.0.
