Path of Exile 2 director says he would be 'beyond shocked' if it didn't come out in 2026: 'We never intended to be in early access this long'

Path of Exile 2 early access class key art.

The Path of Exile 2 Steam page hasn't aged well since its early access release late last year. At the time, developer Grinding Gear Games wrote that it expected it to be finished in six months. It's almost been an entire year since then and the promised list of features isn't all here yet.

Even its game director, Jonathan Rogers, knew it wouldn't make that deadline a few months before it hit, although speaking to PC Gamer in March he said the team was "still broadly on track," and that he wanted to have it done this year. And then in August, after some nasty DDoS attacks on the PoE 2 servers, he told Eurogamer that it probably wasn't going to make it after all.
