Path of Exile 2 Preps For Paid Early Access, Promises Full Details Next Month

It’s official—Path of Exile 2 is finally gearing up for early access, and fans of Grinding Gear Games’ dark, chaotic world are buzzing. The highly awaited sequel is set to launch into early access on November 15, 2024, and players who snag a supporter pack will be among the first to dive in. For those who’ve managed to reach a certain threshold of “lifetime support” in Path of Exile, no worries—you’ll get early access without the extra spend.

Grinding Gear Games teased more details on the upcoming early access via their Twitter account, promising a developer livestream in about a month. Expect a breakdown of those supporter packs, early access perks, and probably a few surprises for longtime fans.

Path of Exile 2 was first announced back in 2019, and after a few delays, the hype is real. Christopher Laferriere, lead designer for skill and character builds at GGG, recently shared his excitement in an interview with MMORPG.com, particularly about the team’s work on boss design. He quipped that the devs are always cooking up some “crazy, weird, wacky” bosses, which should make slaying them all the more satisfying.
