The plains of Hellas are trembling, and Mount Olympus echoes with the footsteps of over 300,000 champions: Titan Quest II has arrived, and its Early Access launch is already sending shockwaves through the gaming pantheon.
In less than 72 hours, Titan Quest II has sold over 300,000 units, and the momentum shows no signs of slowing. Still surging among Steam’s and Epic Games Store global top sellers, the game has already secured the second-highest concurrent player peak in THQ Nordic history, surpassed only by 2021’s Biomutant, released during the worldwide stay-at-home surge.
The team at Grimlore Games extends their deepest thanks to every single player who has put their trust in them and joined this Early Access odyssey — your support means the world!
With almost 6,000 Steam reviews and an 84% “Very Positive” rating, Titan Quest II is winning over ARPG veterans and newcomers alike. Players and critics are praising its myth-rich world, tactical combat, and its commitment to a microtransaction-free experience.
“Titan Quest II is a chill Greek holiday compared to the live-service complexity of ARPGs like Diablo 4 and Path of Exile 2″ wrote PC Gamer.
COGConnected praised, “Actual combat flows nicely and feels excellent,” further spotlighting its flexible mastery system, immersive worldbuilding, and impressive polish even in Early Access.
The Sixth Axis even called it the “return of a legend,” saying, “Titan Quest II makes a great first impression in Early Access. Its enveloping world, tough but fair combat, and deep loot and experience trees are perfectly weighted to pull you ever deeper into myth and legend.”
Built on the legacy of its legendary predecessor, Titan Quest II invites players to carve their path through a world shaped by gods, monsters, and fate. With dual masteries, powerful modifiers, handcrafted environments, and the soul of a true ARPG, it offers a heroic journey that feels both timeless and new.
As the team at Grimlore Games continues to heed the voices of its growing community, more content, refinements, and divine surprises lie ahead. The odyssey has only just begun — stay tuned for what’s next.
Titan Quest II has now stepped onto the mortal plane, available for PC in Early Access. The full 1.0 release will be priced at $49.99 / €49.99. But those who embark early on this quest will pay only $29.99 / €29.99 – and until this Friday, August 8th, a divine 20% discount will reduce the price even further to $23.99 / €23.99.
