Path of Exile 2 (PoE2) is a sequel to Path of Exile, currently in development by Grinding Gear Games.[1]. It was first announced on November 15, 2019, during ExileCon 2019 as a major "Version 4.0" update to the first game with a new act campaign and major overhauls to core game mechanics and graphics.[2] In ExileCon 2023, it was announced Path of Exile 2 will now be its own separate game that will be supported alongside PoE1. A date for Early Access was announced for June 7, 2024, but was delayed to November 15, 2024, and announced that it will be available for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. It was subsequently delayed to December 6th, 2024 due to issues with database infrastructure.[3] An official launch date for the game's release has not yet been announced.
Path of Exile 2 will introduce a completely new game, although microtransactions will be shared with both games whenever applicable. The game features a six-Act campaign with twelve classes and major changes to many of the game's core systems. The skill gem system is drastically changed, removing gem sockets from equipment and moving them to active skill gems instead. Combat has received a revamp, which includes a new dodge roll mechanic. Other additions and changes include a major visual rework with physics-based rendering, local couch co-op, an overhaul to itemization and crafting, 36 Ascendancy classes, a new passive skill tree, and a brand new endgame system.
