Announced during Opening Night Live at Gamescom, the highly anticipated ARPG Path of Exile 2 from developer Grinding Gear Games revealed it will release in early access on November 15, 2024. Path of Exile 2 is the sequel to the popular dark fantasy Diablo-style title that originally launched in 2013, and while it was initially intended to be merely an expansion to the first game, the studio decided to change the game's course by turning it into its very own standalone title instead.
Path of Exile is an action RPG famed for its intricate combat mechanics and sweeping endgame systems. Players can create specialized builds using numerous skills, looted or crafted gear pieces, and Path of Exile's trademark passive tree to take on various challenges. Path of Exile 2 could well be the next big live-service smash and, going by what has been shown so far in its early access trailer, Grinding Gear Games is doing a stellar job at showcasing what the game has to offer.
Coming late 2024, this action RPG will include a couch co-op mode as well as cross-play and cross progression.
