The much-anticipated Path of Exile 2 is set to begin closed testing in June next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ExileCon, the celebration dedicated to Path of Exile enthusiasts, recently concluded with a wealth of exciting game announcements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"[ExileCon 2023] Path of Exile 2 Gameplay Walkthrough 3\" width=\"740\" height=\"416\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/y8OL9qqnhDo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The event showcased an extensive 30-minute gameplay video of the developing Path of Exile 2, featuring an informative commentary that unveils the game&#8217;s unique features, development philosophy, and combat demonstrations. Expect a whole new feel to the melee combat in Path of Exile 2, with the development team adding increased maneuverability to the battles.

Initially unveiled in 2019 at ExileCon, the developers emphasized that it was not an entirely separate new title but rather an extension, building upon the foundation of the original concept. Now, four years later, the game is still in development, and it&#8217;s confirmed that Path of Exile 2 is indeed an independent game. It will have its own game balance, systems, and future updates, and items purchased in the in-game store will be shareable between both games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Game Director Jonathan Rogers explained, &#8220;Path of Exile 2 has grown so much in content. It&#8217;s more than just a new campaign expansion; it features entirely new monsters, skills, and mechanics. We realized that replacing Path of Exile with Path of Exile 2 would undermine players&#8217; love for the game. Therefore, we&#8217;ve decided to keep both games separate, each with its own mechanics, balance, endgame content, and leagues.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The eagerly anticipated Path of Exile 2 will kick off its closed testing on June 7, 2024. Get ready for an epic adventure that stands on its own!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a92023 Grinding Gear Games. All Rights Reserved.
