Oh yes, my friends, we're gonna be shapeshifting. Here's a quick (and almost certainly incomplete) list of new features for Path of Exile 2.

• Six new character classes, along with the six from PoE 1 for 12 total (Sorceress, Monk, Huntress, Mercenary, Warrior, Druid)
• New ascendancies, with three for each class
• A revamped skill gem system where the links are in the gems themselves, not tied to equipment
• Tons of new skills, including shapeshifting (bear, wolf, cat) and giant comets
• Meta gems, which are gems that can have other gems socketed into them (think things like cast on crit or spell totem)
• New weapon types, like spear and crossbow that have their own skills
• A six act story campaign set 20 years after the death of Kitava
• A new map-based endgame
• A dodge roll for everyone that doesn't require a gem link, with the ability to dodge-cancel abilities
• Changes to crafting and the economy, including changes to the way chaos orbs work and the introduction of gold as a currency
• Over 100 new bosses to battle, each with unique mechanics
