I was longing for a new Dark Souls / Elden Ring game (mainly Bloodborne) but this I have to give a hard pass.
Co-op and multiplayer is a big no no for me and even if we can play this as single player we all now were the focus is. And it ain't on the single player part...

Doesn't Ubisoft have troubles enough?! Releasing a timed-Far Cry? Those games has always been big, bombastic action adventures that you can go all guns blazing or, like myself, take out enemy camp with 100% stealth.
But playing it with a timer? Not even Hitman is stupid enough do to anything like that. And that would at least make sense, theme-wise. Seems Ubi doesn't want my money then, I guess they are happy with their current economical state...
If it was a spin-off ok. But to do a total makeover of an establish gameseries sounds awfully dumb in my opinion.

@UltimateOtaku91 It will be a werewolf-like.

@mkr But I think Bluepoint has two teams now, I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere a little while ago. So hopefully they have, and surprises us all with a BB reveal in the near future.

@mkr Yes you would think so, but they rather chase their liveservices dreams, like Concorde for example.

@Slayer25c That not entirely correct- The said they wont do a direct sequel to ER. Not that they wont do another Elden Ring game.
It's like the Dark Souls games, those aren't "sequals" per se. More like standalone games within the same universe. It will be the same for Elden Ring. They already stated in an earlier interview that they want to do a ER game set about 1000 or so years before Elden Ring (1).

This studio was founded by 2 young programmers from my little city up here in northern Sweden. I'm proud and impressed how far their dreams have taken them with Helldivers I & II. They are proof that you don't need to start out big in order to succeed in the long run. May Helldivers prosper for them for years to come.

Best sound design and best music at Gameawards 2025 just must go to Path Of Exile 2. I'm calling it now. It's just excellent.

@DannZan And just a personal question, I'm curious, you are living in the "great" america with "freedom of speech" - why are you so hellbent to work against that right on a gameforum?
Makes no sense. We don't need to agree, but stop spreading lies about why I post anything here, because you have clearly no clue as you call it "shilling".

@DannZan Marketing, you speak like a true american. You know, I'm from northen europe and here (up in the northern woods) nobody cares about your "marketing" then typing a comment in a forum noone cares about and your "corporations". Only time we care about those if they pay your monthly salary lol.
This is a hobby and I will continue express hope and joy if I like what I see. So, as I said gtfo with that american BS view on life and stop trying to project that crap on me. I don't live in the same world as you, that's obvious. It's a hobby ffs, lighten up.
"but personally I've never enjoyed a game before it's been released." - tell me where I said I already enjoyed it?!! I'm waiting!

@DannZan Corporate shilling gtfo rofl. I liked what I saw and unlike you I can actually have good feelings and hope it will turn out great. I'm the "live on my hope"-kinda man. I don't think in politic terms like you seem to do. If I'm wrong and a game turns out to be pure poo, I'm the first to admit it.
Lighten up and let some hope get into your life. You'll be surprised how often things turn out better if you have a little positive attitude/hope and don't see everything in black.
I get it's cool to hate on Sony and their games, including Concorde and Naughty Dog's releases, but don't ever think I get into that trend. I dream of cool, fun games like in the PS4 era, the best for me personally so far. I'm 56 but I hope to live the day Playstation get their ***** together and releases BB remake and Bloodborne II. As I said, I live on hope that great games will arrive every month, year etc.

@mkr That was the Uncharted one they ended up refusing to do so Sony let them make an original I.P instead. (Rumors say its a new Syphon Filter game)

And I hope they make another one for PSVR(2). I loved playing Borderlands 2 on my PSVR1. Or they can simply remaster it for PSVR2 and the new controllers, that would be awesome!

@Veritas7Ax I played Borderlands before, I own them all, but "back in the days" they always mentioned the campaign in some way. So this wording made me worried they ditched it this time.

Edit: According to Eurogamer it's solo+co-op so I hope that's true. I will buy this in 2-3 years when the "ultimate complete collection"-version releases so I don't need to jump back in every 6 months and forgot the controls rofl.

"we can’t wait to show you what the world of Kairos has in store for you and your co-op crew,” “Borderlands 4 features two-player local split-screen co-op or up to four players online, supporting however you want to play!”

So this game has no singleplayer at all? If so, hard pass from me. I hope I'm wrong because the game looks great so far.

Damn people here like like to spread their negativity all over the place. If you don't like this, just don't play it, we don't need to hear your anti-ND/Sony propaganda to be honest.
I think this looked great, I hope it's in the vein of the first Surge game, mystical story with great robotfights. That would be great.
I look forward to it, at last a 1st party Sonytitle that can bring back a little of that great PS4-era!!

"this service is only available in certain countries blah blah blah"...
Since when is Sweden not included in this yearly "wrap"??
I hope it's an error due to high volumes in traffic and nothing else.
I want to see my stats too!

@GeeEssEff Good to hear it's better now. But if you have a router you might consider turn it off a minute or two, and then restart it "fresh".
That is something must of us forget to do on a regular basis, and that can solve hiccups like laggy games and so on. Worth a try right?!

@GeeEssEff I have had a really smooth ride since day 2. No lag at all actually apart from once, but that was GGG releasing a patch that I had to download and after that everything was perfect again. You might need to change server if you get a laggy experience.

Long queues but servers up now (again)

@ZeroSum And sorry if I gave impression YOU had to chill, I just meant people in general

@ShogunRok I played for 2 minutes. Got a warrior named and killed like 10 zombies weeee

@ZeroSum True rofl

Fun fact 500 watching D4 on twitch now, and over 1 million watching PoE2...

@ZeroSum D4 was down for 12 hours at launch, chill .... It's only just under 2 hours late for PoE2 so far. WE all knew this would happen with over 1 million people login at the same time.

@1:11 Spiderman ripoff much?!

@ozkrmz No problems. Have fun in PoE1 !!
Edit: Optional view on this: Got my friend here that started PoE1 this summer and he says "I think it's better to get in early on PoE2 EA and learn the game from the groundup, before the game gets too bloated in a year or 2 with too much to learn as a new player".
No right /wrong here, just a thought for you.
Happy gaming friend!

@RiverGenie Excellent summary that 100% is the case in every Early Access, no matther what game. I just want to add one thing, GGG have promised no serverwipes of characters during EA. Whatever changes they make you can keep playing, but you might need to get new gear if they nerf something broken/totally OP.

@EfYI Necro? Yes, that's the witch class, Infernalist if I remember correctly. Edit: Check out Ghazzy's YT channel for a video from yesterday to see it fits your needs.

@Vorflynn Gameplaywise - harder than D4 for sure. It's a slower more impactful combat in PoE2.
But the systems and UI has all been reworked to help new players learn the game much easier according to the videos GGG showed so far. If you play at your own pace, read the tooltips and experiment a little you'll be fine. And most important: explore everything and kill all optional bosses for extra skills and unique loot.

5th December, NOTHING happened!! As usual with these Push Square hype-pieces.

@Bentleyma I think most people are just like you. I felt the same way "pay -early access" - bummer...
But the more I seen from the game the more I wish it was friday
I'll drop 370 on the biggest pack as I love those hideouts and armor. But that's just me. Got the money so I thought, "why not!"

I only watch others play if it's like a trophyguide or tutorial on a really hard gamemechanic, otherwise I just play the games myself.

@ozkrmz Yes, but Early Access (like a beta) will cost money to get into. In about 12 months they release the finished game (at the moment done to 90%) and then it WILL be free.
If you like this game you can jump in now for a fee, 30 bucks and upwards, otherwise you need to wait at least 6-12 months. Totally up to you.

• This friday you get first 3 acts of the story and 6 classes to play plus an extensive endgame.
• During the EA you get an additional 3 acts and the last 6 classes (12 in total).
• When the game officially relelases in a year you get the last and final Act 7 to play.
  Hope this helps.

@Flaming_Kaiser ??? What's unclear? All supporterpacks and prices are now covered on Path Of Exile.com.
In about a year it's going out of Early Access (beta) and it's free to play, entire campaign 7 acts and largest endgame in the ARPG genre including the 12 classes. Still don't get what unclear to you?
Guild Wars 1 isn't even a game like PoE2 so I don't get what you are on about. Responded to wrong post by way? I never mentioned online fee or anything about honesty??
Just woke up so really confused here lol.

GGG just mentioned the Playstation Supporter packs will be out about 24 hours before Early Access starts.

I got both the new system software update and one system function update on my console.

"Is this a PlayStation Web site? Oops I thought it was all nintendo..my bad." Typical trolling way of getting trolling going?!

@Northern_munkey I guess you want to be funny but you come across as trolling tbh. Whatever, I wont feed into that.

@Northern_munkey I should have wrote "you make it seem like the $30 supporter pack is the only supporterpack that get you into the Early Access".
Better?
Or do you talk about PC EA? I never mentioned that as I play on PS5 only. We are on a PS site after all...

@breakneck I agree, the combat looks flat and in some trailers the movement seem quite janky. I think this is a overhyped game at the moment, but we'll see in may I guess.

And they end it with Bloodborne, come on Push Square, write a couple of "articles" about how they are cooking something.... sigh

That original isn't that pleasant on my 75" HDR TV to be honest. The older I get the more I like darker themes

And if you got PS Plus, don't forget to claim the free PoE bundles. I claimed most of the 17 that Sony gave out the last 10+ years and they will work for both PoE1 and PoE2 as long as you play on the same platform. So all MTX from PoE1 on PS4/5 will work in PoE2.

@Jayslow No it's not. If you buy the $30 dollar EA pack you use those 300 point in the ingame store and buy yourself some stashtabs, seem people suggest: 1 currency stash tab, 1 premium stash tab (upgrade) and 1 each of mapstash tab and waystone stashtab.
But I'm sure people that played PoE for the last 10-11 years will post videos on what tabs to buy this weekend, so get the EA and just use the 4 bank tabs you get with the game to get started, that's what I plan to do.

@Liam You make it seem like $30 option is the only way to get into Early Access of Poe2, these will be sold on PS Store on friday 6th December:

• Path Of Exile 2 Early Access Supporter Pack $30
• Lord of Ogham Supporter Pack $60
• King Of The Faridun Supporter Pack $100
• Thaumaturge Of The Vaal Supporter Pack $150
• Warlord Of The Karui Supporter Pack $220
• Liberator Of The Wraeclast Supporter Pack $370
• Twilight Order Foil Reliquary Submission pack $110 (REQUIRES Liberator Of The Wraeclast Supporter Pack !!)

$30 Just gives a key and 300 points, the others give key, points equal to it's price ($60=600 points, $100=1000 points and so on)and MTX like armour and pets.
Edit: 4 days to go!!!

@Rambo-kind "Sony is going to torture us endlessly, right?"
You mean Push Square and their false hope-articles?!! Sony just does some "maintenace" in this case and this cough*reporter*cough make up this fantasy about some surprise. Don't pin that on Sony. They said nothing of this that this cough*reporter*cough try to put words in their mouth...

@mkr Reports said Sony wanted Blue Point to work on a remster/remake but Blue Point Refused and instead got greenlit to make an original I.P.
So they never did any remaster after Demon's Souls.
This was reported by many newssites, even Push Square if I remember correctly.

I said it earlier, at this point Push Square just take any far fetched rumour to troll us about BB. Not nice.

@EfYI The beginning? First packs in that townsquare?, first optional boss?(Cleric Beast), First real boss? (Father Gascoigne)
Until you at least cleared Father Gascoigne you haven't really tasted the sweetness that is Bloodborne. And that is nothing compared to the entire journey. It may not be for everyone, but if you give it time, you won't regret it.
Don't be so fast to write it off.
