The developers from Grimlore Games and publisher THQ Nordic have released a major update for the ARPG Titan Quest II. The update brings many changes to balance and adds new content to the game. The most noticeable new feature is a new addition to Masteries – Summons. The developers call it a first step towards a full Summoner builds. The players can choose between both passive and active play stile, depending on the path they chose.
From the creators of SpellForce 3 comes a handcrafted action RPG for a new generation of mythical heroes. Return to the classic mythology-inspired setting of Titan Quest and go toe-to-toe with legendary monsters as you journey across a fantastical reimagining of Ancient Greece.
Nemesis, Goddess of Retribution, is corrupting the Threads of Fate and condemning all those who oppose her to Eternal Punishment – including you. Take up your weapon, fight alongside gods, and face some of the most powerful forces in Greek mythology in order to stop Nemesis, free those she’s punished, and weave your own epic tale.
