Path of Exile 2 is the long-awaited follow-up to the free-to-play Diablo-like from Grinding Gear Games. Originally conceived as a new story campaign for the original Path of Exile, GGG's habit of piling a sanity-straining amount of mechanics, systems, and nesting skill trees into their software turned the would-be expansion into a full sequel.
After suffering a few delays since its announcement in 2019, Path of Exile 2 is set to enter early access on December 6, letting exiles play through its first two story acts with six of its eventual twelve character classes. Once they've burned through that story content, players can test the builds they've made with the revamped skill gem system in PoE 2's endgame. Someone's gotta knock the loot out of all those skeletons, after all.
