While fans are still excited about the highly anticipated sequel to the ARPG (Action Role Playing Game) genre, Titan Quest 2, developer team Grimlore Games has made an unexpected decision to change the game's planned release schedule. It was stated that the early access period for Titan Quest 2, which has been followed with great interest since the moment it was first announced, will not take place in the winter months that were initially announced.
Intense Competition Causes Postponement
In an announcement made on the game's official Steam page, it was announced that Titan Quest 2's early access plan has now been moved to summer 2025. Grimlore Games stated that the main reason behind this postponement decision was the intense competition that would be created by the release of many ambitious games of the same genre in the winter months. The developers stated that they were worried that Titan Quest 2 would not get the attention it deserved in this crowded calendar and made this strategic change in order to have a more suitable launch timing where the game could fully showcase its potential.
Positive Feedback from Closed Tests
While the decision to postpone may be upsetting for some players, the development team also announced that the current version of the game is technically ready for early access and has received very positive feedback from the recent closed testing process. An impressive 92% of players who participated in the playtests were reportedly satisfied with the experience, while two-thirds of the participants described themselves as “experts” familiar with the series, indicating that Grimlore Games has succeeded in reaching its target audience.
Graphics Quality and Atmosphere were Appreciated
Data from the closed testing process revealed that Titan Quest 2’s graphical quality in particular was highly rated by players. The game’s visuals received an average of 6 out of 5.25, while its sound design also received similarly positive ratings. Players who participated in the tests commented that Titan Quest 2’s atmosphere and gameplay dynamics were much richer and more in-depth than previous games. This feedback shows that the development team is on the right track and has the potential to deliver a satisfying experience to players.
Aiming for a Stronger Game
Although the postponement decision may have been a slight disappointment for impatient Titan Quest fans, Grimlore Games emphasized that they want to offer a much stronger and more polished game in the long run with this strategic move. With Titan Quest 2 being released into early access in the summer of 2025, it is aimed for players to encounter a comprehensive and enjoyable experience worthy of the series. The development team also announced that they will share the game's exact release date with players in the coming period. This postponement has the potential to offer a much better Titan Quest experience after patient waiting.
