  As Zeus and the pantheon of gods are packing up and declaring that the time has come for mankind to control its own destiny, a Hades-born army is forming and cutting a swath of destruction through the already war-torn ancient world. Players must find a way into the underworld, fight their way through the advancing horde, and once again change the course of history.

  apart from 1 new mastery, new items and new monsters, below are some of the other new features as well.
  
  Personal Stash
  Store your extra items in a caravan driver's wagon. If you need more space in his wagon you'll need to pay a one-time fee. Every time you expand the amount of space available in the wagon, you'll pay another fee.
  
  You can also transfer stored items in the caravan driver's wagon between games. If you place items in the "Transfer Area" of the wagon, they'll be available for all of your other characters.
  
  Inventory Sort Button
  To help you keep your items organized, a couple of sort buttons have been added to your character screen. One sort button is present above your main inventory as well as above every extra pack you manage to acquire.
  
  Lock Item Pickup
  As in Titan Quest, you can view all, non-broken, and only magical loot on the ground using the Z, Alt and X keys. Now when you have Lock Item Pickup check under the General Options menu, you cannot pick up a filtered-out item at all, so you'll never accidentally grab a broken sword again. You will also only be able to pick up items while pressing a filter key.
  
  Attribute Undo
  If you make an error while assigning attribute points, you can now undo the changes you've made up until such time as you close your character window.
  
  Additional Quick Slots
  During gameplay, you can press B to open up another row of empty quick slots, which can be filled in just the same way as the original ten could. You can alternate between quick slot rows at will, much as you can alternate between weapons with the W key.
  
  Display HP/Energy
  Click on the HP/Energy bars to display your current hit points and energy as numbers instead of a simple red or blue bar.
  
  New Map Icons
  With new map features, there are new map icons. The mini-map is now much easier to follow, and comes complete with a full legend at the bottom.
  
  Audio Options
  You can not set your audio for headphones or Dolby 4.1 and 5.1 stereo systems. Smashing a skeleton with a mace has never sounded more crisp.
  
  Difficulty Indicator
  We've added an icon on the Character Screen that indicates what difficulty level you're currently playing on.
  
  Equip With Right-Click
  You can now right-click weapons, armor, and jewelry to equip them.
  
  Clock
  If you mouse-over the upper-left-hand corner of the HUD, by your character's portrait, a real-world clock will appear, to help you keep track of time.
  
  Adjusted Experience Bar
  The experience bar at the bottom of the screen will now glow and fill slowly as you earn XP, to help you see just how much experience each slain monster and completed quest is worth.
  
  Gamma Slider
  If the lightning in the game isn't dark and gloomy enough for you, or if it's a little too dark and gloomy, you can set the game's brightness with the new gamma slider. You can find it under the video options menu.
  
  Disable Screenshake
  If the shaking screen makes you queasy, you can now disable it in the Video Options menu.
  
  Triple Buffering
  When Vertical Sync is enabled, turning this option on can smooth out framerate. Try it if you are getting some framerate choppiness from Vertical Sync.
  
  Detail Objects
  Enables new small detail enhancements, like footprints and ocean waves.
  
  Advanced Effects
  Enables new graphical enhancements, such as bloom.
