Grinding Gear Games announces Dawn of the Hunt will rise in Path of Exile 2 on April 4th, adding the first major content update since the Early Access launch of the action/RPG sequel. All the details on what this will bring to the party are on this page. As it explains, the update will add a new Huntress class along with other changes, as discussed in the Content Reveal Video. For another look at what to expect there's a Gameplay Trailer. Here's more on the new ranged/melee hybrid:

Obliterate your enemies with the hybrid ranged and melee Huntress Step into the bloodstained boots of the Huntress, a dexterous and ferocious spear-wielding warrior. Banished from her homeland, she now stalks her prey using both ranged spear throws and close combat attacks. Her brutal arsenal is designed to make combat feel like a relentless pursuit, always in motion, moving into and out of melee range at a moments notice.

The Huntress can also Parry incoming attacks from monsters, stunning them before following up with one of several counterattacks. For example, use Disengage after a Parry to quickly jump back, gaining a Frenzy charge, then follow up with an empowered spear throw.
