Path of Exile 2 Early Access Date
Set years after the original Path of Exile, you’ll return to the dark world of Wraeclast and try to end the spreading corruption. Path of Exile 2 is a free-to-play online multiplayer game with co-op for up to six players.
Path of Exile 2 Early Access Date Set for November
Society has been slowly rebuilding since Kitava’s death, but Corruption has once again begun to spread across Wraeclast. People whisper of a terrible living Seed, driving those around it to madness.
Path Of Exile 2 features an all-new campaign with six chapters, 100 different environments, 600 monsters and 100 bosses.
Path Of Exile 2 features twelve character classes, two for each combination of Strength, Dexterity and Intelligence. While each of the class variants focuses on a different playstyle, they are just a starting point. You can combine skills from many classes 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 choose from.
Path Of Exile 2 features 240 Skill Gems that grant devastating active skills and 200 Support Gems that alter their behavior. Combine them 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, eliminating many of the frustrations present in the old system while retaining all the previous depth. It is now possible to sextuple-bind every skill your character uses.
Path Of Exile’s iconic Passive Skill Tree is back with 2,000 skills that allow you to fully customize your gaming experience. It now features Dual Specialization, the ability to allocate some passive skill points to two different skill sets. They come into play when the appropriate weapon or skill type is used. For example, you can allocate some points to both daggers and traps or ice and lightning, and when you switch between attacks the appropriate skill points will be applied. This allows you to specialize in multiple areas without the opportunity cost.
Path Of Exile 2 has 700 basic types of equipment, and each has its own unique item you can find. You can strengthen your arsenal with new weapons such as Spears, Crossbows and Flails, as well as complementary items such as Focuses, Traps and redesigned Staffs.
At the end of Path Of Exile 2’s six-act campaign, you’ll gain access to the endgame. Each of the 100+ endgame maps features its own boss fight and modifiers that enable revamped versions of many of Path of Exile’s past leagues. We’ll reveal more details on what surprises await you in Path of Exile 2’s endgame ahead of release.
