Path of Exile 2 announces a second new class, the Shadow, for its December 1.0 release

Grinding Gear Games announced during ExileCon that Path of Exile 2's full release on December 11 will bring two new classes: the Duelist and the Shadow. The Shadow, a dagger-heavy class, will have stealth mechanics and trap skills. Its addition to the game has been hinted at through a cryptic teaser trailer. Shadows will be able to ascend as Assassins or choose a new ascendancy: Infiltrator.

They will have access to new weapon types and abilities, as well as a new resource called Darkness. Shadows will also be able to use a suite of new stealth mechanics, including a cooldown that allows for quick kills from the shadows. They will leave behind a shade that blinds monsters and doubles up on damage when melee attacks are used.

The Shadow's arrival will introduce new mechanics and abilities, as well as two new acts and endgame improvements, making Path of Exile 2's full release look "absolutely stacked."
