Grinding Gear Games: 65% Chance of Path of Exile 2 This Year

Path of Exile 2 developer Grinding Gear Games has stated there is a 65% likelihood the full release will occur this year. Although currently in early access, game director Jonathan Rogers emphasized the team's commitment to completing the game. He mentioned the need for a realistic schedule to meet this goal, acknowledging potential delays but remaining optimistic. Significant updates, including a new class, a revamped endgame, and numerous new items, are set to enhance the game ahead of its anticipated launch. If the full release does not happen this year, an early 2026 launch is possible.

No, it seems likely that not all classes will be available at launch. Rogers indicated that some could be released later, depending on the development pace and priorities regarding content completion.

Path of Exile 2 is the sequel to the critically acclaimed action RPG, Path of Exile. With its dark fantasy setting and intense gameplay mechanics, the game has attracted a massive player base since its early access launch in December 2023, reaching nearly one million concurrent players. The sequel is expected to build upon the original game's success by introducing new content, classes, and an enriched narrative experience, ensuring that both new and returning players have much to explore.
