Path of Exile 2 - Huntress

Grinding Gear Games’ Path of Exile has enjoyed a resurgence in interest thanks to the Secrets of the Atlas expansion and Mercenaries of Trathus league. What’s next remains to be seen, but the team has outlined the release date for Path of Exile 2’s next big update. Following its quarterly cycle, players can look forward to update 0.3.0 on August 29th (PDT).

It will feature a new league with a unique mechanic and fresh challenges, including new bosses. Fans can also look forward to new crafting options and loot. As with Path of Exile 1, GGG will look into incorporating the league mechanic into the base game (though, as always, it’s not guaranteed). Players can expect to learn more about the new content one week ahead of launch.

The base game will also receive a “lot of new stuff,” and while there’s a “lot of content” that the team hasn’t yet finished, it did confirm another big update would land in December.

Path of Exile 2 is available for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. Check out our review from when early access first went live, but keep in mind that it’s undergone numerous changes and additions since then.
