Path of Exile 2 news in a nutshell: Beta launch with less content than PoE1, but more to come for full release. Post-launch leagues will impact endgame, no new base classes, and trade system stays the same. Chaos orbs and crafting will be more valuable and specific. Builds may be less complicated, and power creep is still a mystery.😎🎮🔥


In a recent interview with Jonathan from GGG, several updates and features of Path of Exile 2 (Poe2) were discussed. Here are the key takeaways from the interview.


Beta Launch and Early Access 🚀

During the beta period, Poe2 is expected to have a little less content than Poe1 in the end game initially. It will feature maps, mechanics, and the porting of Poe1 content to Poe2. A large amount of endgame content is planned for the final release of Poe2. Pinnacle Box bosses will be available in the game at release.

Leagues and Expansions 🎯

The League release model for Poe2 will mirror that of Poe1, with major expansions planned for each year. The trade and economy system will retain the player-to-player trade mechanism, with gold used as a tax for instant buyouts. The trade website from Poe1 will also remain in place for Poe2.
