Grinding Gear Games' action RPG sequel sees massive player engagement, praised for deep systems and improved accessibility.
Path of Exile 2 has attracted over 5 million players during its first month of open beta, exceeding developer expectations. The sequel maintains the depth and complexity that fans love while improving accessibility for newcomers. The new campaign features six acts with branching paths and meaningful choices that affect gameplay. Combat has been refined with better animations and more responsive controls. The passive skill tree, while still massive, now includes better visualization and planning tools. New ascendancy classes offer unique playstyles, and the gem system has been redesigned for greater flexibility. Grinding Gear Games is actively incorporating player feedback, with weekly updates addressing balance issues and bugs. The full release is planned for mid-2025.
