Covered by 4 sources · 4 articles
Grinding Gear Games has locked in the 1.0 release date for Path of Exile 2, announced at Gamescom ONL 2026. The sequel will arrive in December, nearly two years after the game entered early access on PC in December 2024. This marks the transition from the extended testing period to the official launch, bringing the long-awaited follow-up to the original action RPG out of preview status.
The timing underscores the developer's commitment to a full development cycle before the full release. With two years of early access behind it, Path of Exile 2 will have accumulated substantial player feedback and iteration before hitting its milestone.
- Path of Exile 2's full release comes in December after a two-year early access run starting December 2024.
- The announcement arrived during Gamescom ONL 2026, signaling the project's readiness for its next phase.
- The extended early access period allowed Grinding Gear Games to refine the sequel based on player input before official launch.
