PoE2 Reveals Shadow: A New Class, One Excited Reaction and an Older Prediction

After months of guessing, the Shadow appeared. The new class's stealth-and-daggers identity also invites a look back at October's speculation that only one class might arrive.

At ExileCon on November 6 local time, the Shadow trailer presented a dagger-, trap- and stealth-focused class, set to join the Duelist at 1.0. The original channel video is embedded; the article does not pretend to have watched every frame.

A November 7 Korean repost linked a subtitled trailer and showed roughly 1,402 views. A separate public video tracker listed the official channel upload on November 6 with far more views. Different counts measure different pages, not a unified fan survey.

One readable Korean comment simply called the trailer cool. In a separate October 26 Reddit discussion, players debated whether 'new classes' meant two base classes or Duelist specializations. Those are pre-announcement predictions, not reactions to the reveal.

The October discussion illustrates a mix of anticipation and scheduling skepticism. It cannot establish how the wider community felt after November's reveal.

The official trailer and November 6 reporting place the Shadow in the full release on December 11 PST (December 12 in Korea). The exact local start hour is not verified, and no unpublished ability numbers are asserted.

When 1.0 arrives on December 11 PST, hands-on feel and balance will be the next questions. One trailer cannot establish the final meta.
