Years of initial development finished, Path of Exile 1 entered its closed beta on August 10, 2011. Anxious but dedicated and innovative, the developers at Grinding Gear Games took the road less traveled and cranked out stellar content, nurtured an excellent community relationship, and discovered new, exciting ways to invigorate the ARPG genre and beyond.

As we grow closer to the release of Path of Exile 2, the biggest expansion to PoE in its history, join me and explore the entire history of GGG and Path of Exile in the PoE Flashback Series. This is episode two. The third one is right around the bend.

We're extremely lucky to play the game of such an awesome development team.
