Set years after the original Path of Exile, you will return to the dark world of Wraeclast and seek to end the corruption that is spreading. Path Of Exile 2 is a free-to-play online multiplayer game with co-op for up to six players.

Since the death of Kitava, society has been slowly rebuilding, but Corruption has once again started to spread throughout Wraeclast. The people whisper of a ghastly living Seed that drives those around it to madness...

Path Of Exile 2 features a brand new campaign with six acts, 100 distinct environments, 600 monsters and 100 bosses.

Path Of Exile 2 features twelve character classes, two for every combination of Strength, Dexterity and Intelligence. While each of the class variants focuses on a different playstyle, they're just a starting point. You can combine skills from many classes together to create your ideal character build. Each of the twelve character classes has its own three Ascendancy specializations, resulting in a total of 36 Ascendancy Classes to pick between.

Developer Grinding Gear Games revealed that Path Of Exile 2 is no longer an expansion to Path of Exile 1.

We will continue to offer expansions for both games going forward. They are completely free-to-play and will never be "pay to win". Purchases are shared between the two games.

At ExileCon (July 28-29th), Grinding Gear Games revealed everything there is to know about Path Of Exile 2 - including its beta launch date, which is currently planned for June 7, 2024.

The developers will also be showcasing Path of Exile: Mobile and the 3.22 expansion for Path of Exile 1 at this event.

You can watch online at twitch.tv/pathofexile or attend in person.

While Path Of Exile 2 is in full production and isn't entering public beta until mid-2024, you may be able to play it before then! In addition to ExileCon in New Zealand, we're showcasing a large demo at Gamescom in Cologne, Germany (late August) and PAX West in Seattle, USA (early September).

Path Of Exile 2 features 240 Skill Gems that grant devastating active skills and 200 Support Gems that modify their behavior. Combine these together to create your perfect build. This is the next generation of Path of Exile's famous skill system. Support Gems are now socketed directly into Skill Gems, removing many of the frustrations present in the old system while maintaining all the previous depth. It's now possible to six-link every skill your character uses.

Path Of Exile's iconic Passive Skill Tree has made a return, with 2,000 skills that allow you to completely customize your gameplay experience. It now features Dual Specialization, the ability to allocate some passive skill points to two different sets of skills. They engage whenever the appropriate weapon or skill type is used. For example, you can have some points allocated to both daggers and traps, or ice and lightning, and as you swap between attacks, the appropriate skill points will apply. This lets you specialize in multiple areas without opportunity cost.

Path Of Exile 2 features 700 equipment base types and every single one has its own unique item you can find. You can augment your arsenal with new weapons such as Spears, Crossbows and Flails, as well as supplementary items like Focuses, Traps and redesigned Sceptres.

At the conclusion of Path Of Exile 2's six-act campaign, you'll gain access to its endgame. Each of the more than 100 endgame maps has its own boss fight and modifiers that enable revamped versions of many of Path of Exile's past leagues. We'll reveal more details of the surprises that await you in Path Of Exile 2's endgame in the leadup to release.

Path of Exile 2 is coming to PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
