• Overall Experience: 96% of you stated it was positive or very positive.
  
• Gameplay Experience: 94% of you stated it was a positive or very positive experience.
  
• Visuals: 96% of you rated them as positive or very positive.
  
• Audio: 94% of you rated this as positive or very positive.
  
• Story: 90% of you rated this as positive or very positive.
  
• Quests and Exploration: 91% of you rated it as positive or very positive.

• A Turtle’s Lunch: 90% of you gave this a positive rating with 70% of that being very positive. We assume you all like cabbage? Or old turtles? Or maybe both? Anyway, this quest’s humor and quirkiness seemed to resonate with a lot of you.
  
• The Call of the Song: 93% positive, with 80% of those very positive. Who would have thought that creating a wonderful rendition of a Titan Quest classic tune would warm the hearts of even the bravest heroes?

• 1 Warfare: Looks like people like to get in the thick of it! Warfare is the most popular Mastery by a slight margin!
  
• 2 Storm: Cold and Lightning seem to tickle your fancy, as Storm comes in a close second.
  
• 3 Earth: Not far behind are the powers of stone and fire combined in Earth.
  
• 4 Rogue: While still picked a very healthy amount, Rogue currently is the least used Mastery. This is interesting, as Rogue does arguably have some very powerful abilities and passives and greatly contributes to why the strongest builds currently in the game are so good.

• Power increase was too small: It wasn’t satisfying to find a new item that gives you a 1-2% increase on some affix and that’s it. This didn’t feel like its worth the time and effort. To combat this, we added more Affix Tiers to items. This means that the power of an affix is not only determined by the item’s level directly, which would cause very small and gradual increases per level. Instead it is determined by the Tier that the affix has, which spans multiple item levels. This way we could pace things out a little more and make sure that you have a more noticeable change in power when getting to a new tier.
  
• Too much gear you can’t wear: It’s already hard to find an item with a good spread of affixes. And it gets even harder if you can only wear a small percentage of the items you find. We have made adjustments to our systems so that you should find more gear you can actually wear. Don’t worry, you still find things from all other areas as well. We think it's important in an ARPG to find a thing and go: “Oh, I want to use this on another character!”. But the amount of those should be a little lower than after launch. Overall we think this put things in a much better place, even though there might have been some small Poison Bow related hiccups on the way.
  
• Lack of exciting affixes: We are still missing some affixes that are inherently very exciting and powerful. We cannot go into details here, but please know that we are going to be adding new types of affixes during the Early Access period and they will hopefully help with this problem!
  
• Epics lack power: We are aware that the epic items in the game often aren’t exciting enough right now. We did already make some passes here in the past, but feel like they’re not in the right spot still. We will keep iterating and make sure that epics feel… well… epic.

Titan Quest 2's foes are so happy that you are all spending time with them that they have decided to spread some Christmas vibes for a limited amount of time for everyone who plays!

From the team at Grimlore and THQ Nordic, we wish you all a very Merry Christmas!

Chapter 3 of Titan Quest II will see you step foot on Mount Olympos, meet an Olympian, battle centaurs, and face new mythological allies and enemies across the Arkadian Plains. You’ll be heading to Tegea, a sprawling human polis under threat by brutal centaurs, as you search for the key to defeating Nemesis. There will be a lot of new things in this chapter: new places, new enemies, new characters and new secrets to uncover, so we’re excited for you to get your hands on it soon!

The next chapter takes you far from the coast, to the once-green Plains of Arkadia that have been stricken by war and drought. The sprawling human city of Tegea is subjugated by a brutal centaur tribe. With new divine strength flowing through your veins, your mere presence will change the balance of the war. Show the centaurs the might of humanity!

You’ll join the chosen few allowed to step foot on the sacred ground of Mount Olympos itself, speak to an Olympian, meet the first centaurs ever born, and grapple with the complicated origin of their people. Some say that the age of myths and heroes has ended, but it merely saved its best for last. Step onto the pages of famous tales and make your own mark! You won’t just be talking to these characters either: the new chapter will include three new boss fights, including an exciting chapter boss that we’ll leave as a surprise.

In the last chapter you managed to evade Nemesis, but she won’t underestimate you again. Even as you venture through new areas and face new threats, she plots in the background and prepares your doom. You’ll be tasked with searching for something critical to defeating her, but Nemesis is one step ahead. Build your power as much as you can, you’ll need to become a god to have any hope of defeating her.

It won’t be long before the update drops, so in the meantime stay patient, hone your blades, and don your armor. The next step in your odyssey will be more epic than ever before!

Heroes!

This is a hotfix update that fixes a lot of issues that were reported with the Forge Mastery update. This is our last planned update in 2025. Thanks for your support and we have

more in the cards for 2026!

• Increased number of full-screen resolution options, beyond the native aspect ratio

• Systems running the game without DirectX 12 Ultimate support will now show a more helpful error message instead of Unreal's default message

We have made some minor adjustments to address this via Hotfix.
