Man, it gave me an air of being back in 2000, watching the new trailer for the story of one of the best ARPG ever made, it feels like nostalgia and a new epic adventure.
Such a well-crafted cinematic - absolutely love it. Sets the atmosphere and tone, introduces key characters, and makes me want to follow the story hook it sets up. I'm so happy to see GGG have the budget to put these into PoE2.
I’m new POE player, just started 3 days ago, finally reach Act 10. But I don’t know the storyline so far. Now finally have cinematic cutscenes, and the quality so good, thx GGG.
I only paid half attention to it so any lore buffs feel free to correct me but the basic line is that you were exiled from Oriath for one reason or another (Class dependant) and so you travel through wraeclast helping various settlements in their problems on your way back at which point you face off with Kitava a Karui god and in typical game fashion it is a you shall return later so you get wisked away by "Sin" and you set sail back to Lionseye watch and grow stronger back in the cruelty and unforgiving nature of wraeclast making your way back to Oriath a second time for the true face off (mind you this is a very broad strokes for what it actually is )
Just Watch Kitten Cat Noodle, Talkative Tri or True Masters and Morons for Lore but Noodle is best cuz its per act or league stories that how I learned alot even the Divination cards also has ties to certain Characters.
Blue eyed hood man is clearly Innocence (golden god dude) in disguise. And the ball with monster inside is the seed of Corruption you got in Act 9, that was used to kill Kitava.
TL;DR: Exile gets banished to Wraeclast by theocratic super-rome for an extremely minor offense. Is so angry at this profound disrespect that they proceed to burn the world down in retaliation, and get hailed as a hero for putting out the fire they started.
this was unexpected and awesome. almost on the level of a blizzard cinematic. love how dark and violent it is, i hope there are more like this in the campaign

@@JackySwords I know the hype gets cringe because people start idolizing etc, but for my part, I am just happy seeing gory, gruesome shit in a cinematic again. A company that doesn't care to 'offend' someone and therefore softens every single thing about their game and loses any edge at all and you end up with different variations on my little pony, as a gamer from the 90s, Im not going to apologize for feeling hyped about a game that's going out of its way to be badass and catered to a hardcore audience.
The last part when he says feed and grow and in a cage. This reminds me of the very last Acts in PoE 1 where you go to a place where there are cages and corpses upon corpses piled on top of each other. Or also the Abomination you fight in the Act 1 prison rooftop.
We can safely assume that what was in the sphere is the Seed of Corruption, that we used to defeat Kitava. Sin said he couldn't feel it anymore, so either he lied (possible) or something/someone else (hello Tangmazu) took it and hid it. But yeah it's probably the Beasts' essence. We're going back to blood and tentacles. Made even more likely by the appearance of Doryani himself in the gameplay trailer Can't wait to get the full story!
@@Shaltinanwenor Now it explains what was all that tentacly stuff that captain had in earlier snippets of gameplay. And it explains why that dude was able to turn into a strange "werewolf" thing. Overall I'm really interested in the lore. That skill tree though....oh well, guides here I go, I ain't dealing with that on my own.
@@Metrackk I thought that at first, but the whole attacking humans things threw me off. But then again, I don't know what's happened for the past 20 years in the lore.
This is absolutely Sin. Mortal? Blue Eyes, Dark shadowed figured; moves like a shrouded bat? Yeah that's Sin. Add in the fact that he had a vessel that contained the Corruption; a vessel that could lead to the birth of a new beast. Only Malachai and Sin truly understood the implications. This makes me wonder; what is going to happen with Innocence?
This is Blizzard level of cinematics, can't wait to see more of them! Voice acting is S tier! You completely obliterate D4 and probably D5 in terms of gameplay, graphics and are even on par with the stuff they do best, cinematics That logo at the end always gives me goosebumps.
@@Scytha86 I never made such a claim. If you pay attention, you'll see that 90% of the media that comes out today is just plain shit, with just a minority of fortunate exceptions where a mainstream show is also of excellent quality. Therefore it becomes a matter of probability: if a PoE-related TV show, book series or whatever is released in the current context, chances are it IS going to be trash. So, again: don't let them ruin this one too. We've already seen countless beloved sagas, stories and characters be ruined by your "this could be a franchise" thought.
No, keep it a niche. Everything that went mainstream always went to shit Besides PoE is already big, I would say that it has more content than Diablo 3 & 4 combined

GGG has had blizzard beat for years. Blizzard are the ones that need to give GGG a run for the money (that they're charging too much of to consumers for a worse game)
@@tanklike4413 Not in the cinematics department. Blizzard cinematics are still an order of magnitude more impressive imo. While this one was gorgeous, the movement was still a bit uncanny-valley for me while in comparison the original announcement cinematic for D4 was and still is a masterpiece.
@Vadevious oh sorry, for cinematics alone you right. That's about it tho lol
A Plot Twist. In a 5min Opening Trailer. Amazing!
insane the voice acting is so fucking spot on!
Stunning trailer with great atmosphere and twists
is the antagonist Kalgurian? looked like runes from the current league
Yes! The sword looks like one big rune
Good *lord* this into goes hard! The setup, the twist, the mystery, the characters... chef's_kiss.jpg This is gonna scratch my dark fantasy itch SO hard, can't wait!
That's it boys. If there was anything else for us to overcome Diablo, there is no more. PoE cinematics are here.
Not true, the skill tree will scare away them anyways
I wasn't expecting cinematic! Really insane, love it!!!
I firmly believe this will be the best arpg ever made
brilliant work guys, hope to see more of those during gameplay)
