Path of Exile 2 is playable now in early access, but the game’s 1.0 release isn’t ready yet–and it won’t be here soon, it seems. Grinding Gear game director Jonathan Rogers said in an interview that the Tencent-owned studio will likely not hit the previously hinted March 2026 window.
“I’m fairly confident that we won’t be out of 2026,” Rogers told Eurogamer. “But as I said, I never want to really completely promise anything. But I don’t think it’ll end up being March; we’ll have to see.”
There is no “specific timeline” for when Path of Exile 2’s 1.0 release will arrive, but Rogers said he “certainly” hopes it won’t be any later than the end of 2026.
It’s always a bit disappointing to hear about delays, but it’s great to know that Path of Exile 2 is already available in early access. Hopefully, the extra time will lead to an even better experience when it finally launches!
still available in early access. This gives players a chance to explore and provide feedback, which can really help improve the final release. Plus, it seems like the developers are committed to delivering a polished experience, so hopefully, the wait will be worth it!
