In 2017, Creator/THQNordic (the current owner of the intellectual property) made an UpdatedRerelease called ''Titan Quest Anniversary Edition'', for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation4, UsefulNotes/XboxOne, UsefulNotes/{{Steam}}, and UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch. It integrates 10 years' worth of technical updates, bug fixes, and some of the best community changes like increased speed, newly balanced skills and gameplay elements, new monster heroes, and more. Later that same year, to everyone's continued surprise, THQ Nordic released an entirely new expansion pack named ''Ragnarök'' which takes the player on a new journey through Celtic and Nordic Europe. It, too, features a variety of graphical improvements, new areas and weapons, and an all new 10th mastery, Runemaster. In 2019, a third expansion pack came out called ''Atlantis''. In 2021, a fourth expansion called ''Eternal Embers'' was released along with 4 new Acts, a new mastery named Neidan and gamepad support.

* ObviousBeta: ''Ragnarök'' has signs of being rushed for the Christmas release, due to glaring bugs such as:
** Performance issues in the new act.
** Drops and rewards not scaling to difficulty level.
** Drops taking ages to stop moving and becoming selectable.
** [[UnintentionallyUnwinnable Sidequests becoming impossible to finish if done out of order.]]
** Egregious misspellings and typos.
** UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} achievements being broken.
** The same can be said regarding the ''Atlantis'' expansion. Unlike the previous releases, the launch day release had crashes and slowdown bugs.

* BonusBoss: Epic and Legendary mode add in certain specific areas extremely powerful monsters, including Talos and the Lernean Hydra in Greece, a Manticore in Egypt, a Dragon Liche in China, and Fafnir in The North. On normal mode, you'll only see them deactivated (e.g., Talos is immobile and web-covered, the dragon's just a pile of bones, etc.).



** The [[BonusBoss Manticore]] on Epic and Legendary has a lightning breath that will likely [[OneHitKill annihilate the player]] before he/she can even touch a potion. Thankfully, it's easy to predict.
