If you are playing Path of Exile 2, or are planning to, you are in for an exciting time! Grinding Gear Games just revealed Dawn of the Hunt, the game’s first big content update, and it launches on April 4.

There is a ton packed into this one, but here are the biggest highlights:

• New Class: The Huntress – A fast and deadly spear-wielder who blends melee and ranged combat. She comes with two new Ascendancy paths: The Ritualist and The Amazon.
• New Skills – Over 20 new Huntress abilities, including Raise Spectre, which lets you trap and summon enemy souls.
• 100+ New Support Gems and Unique Items – Tons of new gear, including spears, bucklers, and even Unique Charms.
• New Endgame Content – Face three new corruption bosses, explore seven new maps, and fight Rogue Exiles who use your own builds and gear against you.
• New Mechanic: Azmerian Wisps – These spirit-like entities supercharge monsters and reward players who chase them down.
• Unique Strongboxes and Corrupted Essences – High-risk, high-reward challenges with escalating difficulty and massive loot.
• Massive Endgame Rework – Towers are fewer but stronger, Tablets affect more areas, and the grind is streamlined for a better progression feel.
