In a delightful surprise announcement, they unveiled plans to include the Rogue class alongside the Warfare, Earth, and Storm classes right from the start. "We believe you'll agree that this addition was worth the extra wait," the developers stated, showcasing their confidence in the new class.

Key skills include "Deadly Strike," which delivers critical damage; "Death Mark," marking enemies to increase their vulnerability; "Flare," a skill designed to pierce through armor; and "Preparation," enhancing physical damage and poison effects. Additionally, Rogues can summon shadow weapons during combat, with the damage scaling in tandem with other abilities.

They have committed to resuming regular blog updates, which will include gameplay footage to keep the community engaged and informed as development progresses.
Upon release, Titan Quest 2 will be available on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, as well as on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. While Russian localization is planned, it will be introduced post-launch as the game's development continues.
