In a move that is becoming increasingly rare, Titan Quest 2 will launch with zero microtransactions! Yes, you read right; no battle passes, no cosmetics store, and no premium currency. Just the game, with all character customization and progression earned through gameplay.
The devs at Grimlore Games and publisher THQ Nordic have been very clear when they made the statement! This is a classic-style action RPG built around player freedom, not monetization mechanics. That means everything from loot to builds to cosmetic armor is obtained the old-school way, by playing.
What About Future Content?
However, even if there will not be microtransactions, the team does have plans for traditional paid DLC after launch. This follows the model that was already used by the original Titan Quest and its expansions. So nothing really new for them.
Expected DLC content could include things like:
- New story chapters
- More bosses and enemies
- Additional regions to explore
- New Masteries
These expansions can roll out long after Early Access, but the core game already launches with everything you need and a ton of content to go through!
In a time when even single-player games have been adding real-money shops, Titan Quest 2 is keeping things simple, and it is a really nice feeling! No fear or stress of missing out if you do not have the money to buy the latest skin or boost! It is a full, self-contained game with more to come, but only if you want it.
So if you are looking for a gameplay-first ARPG experience that does not spam your screen with a ton of adds of things you can buy, this is definitely one you want to try out!
