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.

The Ranger is Path of Exile 2's most agile class. With the new ability to move while shooting as well as a variety of quick movement skills, she can bound around the battlefield while keeping her foes at a distance with a barrage of bow attacks.

Path of Exile 2’s beta has been delayed until later in the year.  “While we can get the game's content ready in time, we underestimated how long it takes to get gameplay polished to a standard that we are happy with. We will still be doing an Alpha in June, but we are going to be delaying the Beta until later in the year” said Jonathan Rogers, Game Director of Path of Exile 2.

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.
