Path of Exile 2 Early Access Delayed by Three Weeks

The highly anticipated Path of Exile 2 has been rescheduled from its initial early access release date in November 2024 to December 6, 2024. This delay was due to some technical challenges on the server side encountered by the developer, Grinding Gear Games. Specifically, issues emerged around microtransaction integrations and account connections for Path of Exile players, which are essential to ensure a seamless experience between the two games. This additional time allows the developers to address these areas and provide a smooth experience for players switching between both games.

Grinding Gear Games will use this extra time to conduct rigorous testing on account data management and server capacity, aiming to offer a stable start for Path of Exile 2. Building on the success of the first game, this sequel is set to deliver a richer RPG experience with a larger open world, expanded character classes, and formidable new enemies. Initially, Path of Exile 2’s early access will be available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.

This extended preparation period highlights the developer’s commitment to quality, ensuring a smooth launch for both Path of Exile veterans and newcomers alike. While players must wait a few more weeks, this careful planning promises a healthier, long-term experience for the entire gaming community.
