If you’re feeling a bit tired of Diablo 4, there’s a fresh action RPG that might catch your interest. Titan Quest 2 launched in early access just three days ago and has already climbed to the upper ranks of Steam’s best-selling games. It’s a remarkable comeback nearly two decades after the original Titan Quest first appeared.
So, what’s the fuss about? Titan Quest 2 draws inspiration from Greek mythology, giving it a distinct flavor compared to other action RPGs. According to a Reddit post highlighting its success, it’s currently the second highest-selling paid game on Steam, only behind Battlefield 6. Even when free-to-play games are factored in, it still holds an impressive fourth place. That’s no small feat for an early access title.
The player numbers back this up, too. SteamDB reports that the game peaked at 27,099 concurrent players recently, which is exceptionally solid. Reviews are glowing as well, with 83% of nearly 5,000 user reviews marked positive, earning it a “Very Positive” rating overall. Wow, that’s a strong start.
That said, the developers at Grimlore Games remind us that this is an early version. The current build offers about 15 hours of core gameplay but lacks polish and some quality of life features. Multiplayer is functional but still in an early preview state with limited features. They’re planning major updates roughly every three months and expect early access to last about a year. The goal is not just to match the polish of the original Titan Quest but to surpass it by involving the community in the development process.
It’s a smart move. Community feedback can help prepare the game’s future, and it sounds like Grimlore is ready to put in the work. Titan Quest 2’s early success suggests there’s a solid appetite for this kind of historical action RPG. So, if you’re looking for something a little different from the usual fantasy fare, this might be worth a shot.
