Damn, hoping it was being done by Crate. Then again, what I really want is a Grim Dawn 2.

I am hyped! Really enjoyed the first game and its levelling system, I dont like the carefree and generic system in Diablo 3 where every character of the same class is effectively the same since you can swap spells willy nilly.
The first games intro is still burned into my memory "Before the light of the gods entered our world"

Hope it's better than the first one. It was too repetitive for me and the pacing was too slow. It spent too much time in Greece, and took way to long to get to Babylon and China Had some serious balance issues as well, to the point where I actually wondered why they allowed certain "class" combinations at all.

I hope this new game doesn't force you to distribute stat points 1 at a time (almost no one wants to do that) and also allows for cheap or free respecs at any time. It gets boring using the same abilities all the time, no matter how optimal they are. Swapping builds and powers on the fly helps you feel like you're playing a brand new game.

It's a lesson that Blizzard learned with Diablo 3 and 4 and even World of Warcraft, which is why those games don't force you to look up a guide before spending every single stat point, and also allow you to respec easily to try something new and keep you engaged.
