Titan Quest: Ragnarök Expansion Released

I found myself throwing out a very rare “what in the sam hell?” this evening as I read through a press release announcing the availability of Titan Quest: Ragnarök, a new expansion pack that adds a new mastery, more character levels, new items, and a whole lot more to Iron Lore’s 11-year-old action RPG. This is the work of THQ Nordic and it does require the ownership of Titan Quest Anniversary Edition, but there’s a Steam profile page and a cinematic trailer to prove it’s real and worth your attention:

The ambitious details will make you wonder how this add-on managed to come out of nowhere:
