"It's looking good, so I'm expecting a release. I'd certainly like to release it-but if it's bad, we won't bother," Wilson told GameSpot. The project was described as "experimental" from the get-go, leading many to question whether the title will actually see a release. Hoping to buck those issues, the game is being developed in-house and will not feature any pay-to-win mechanics. Mit Path of Exile 2 schwingt sich neue Konkurrenz zu Diablo IV auf Das hat einen Grund, denn laut dem Studio sollen die alten und neuen Handlungsstränge in das gleiche, zwischen beiden Titeln. The developer wasn't pulling any punches as it detailed a lot of the distaste felt towards the mobile platform. If that wasn't enough, Grinding Gear revealed Path of Exile will be coming to mobile, while making sure to poke fun at Diablo Immortal's announcement controversy. Grinding Gear founder Chris Wilson also speculated in an interview with Gamespot that it's likely PoE 2 will come to PlayStation 5 and the next-gen Xbox – but that a Switch version isn't on the cards. The release is still some time away it would seem, while no date has been specified, Grinding Gear are aiming for a beta in late 2020. Grinding Gear confirmed it will still release expansions every three-months for PoE 1, and that all of this content will be available in the sequel upon release.

That being said, players that choose to level through one campaign will not be able to party up with players in the other campaign – that option will only be available upon reaching the endgame content. Whether the sequel will run from its own client remains unclear, however Grinding Gear has confirmed that at the end of the game's campaign, both titles will share endgame content.įor those that have dropped some serious coin in microtransactions, that means all purchases will transition across to Path of Exile 2 when the game releases – a serious win for the community, and a great show of good faith from the developer. " Path of Exile 2 is an opportunity to make all of these changes in one large update." Both the current and new storyline lead to the same shared endgame. "Over the years there have been many changes that we would have loved to make to Path of Exile but couldn't, because they would break existing characters," said Grinding Gear. Announced in 2019, Path of Exile 2 features a new seven-act storyline that is available alongside the original campaign. PoE2 will allow the studio to implement changes to both gameplay and systems, including a physics based lighting system. The sequel will feature a seven-act campaign, new skill gem system, ascendancy classes, and shapeshifting. Grinding Gear Games made a slew of announcements over the weekend at the developer's first ExileCon, including the reveal of Path of Exile 2.
