The Path of Exile 2 beta has been delayed. Alongside our latest look at the upcoming ARPG, developer Grinding Gear Games reveals that we’ll have to wait a while longer for the chance to get hands-on with it. PCGamesN spoke to game directors Jonathan Rogers and Mark ‘Neon’ Roberts about why the decision was made, and what it means for the much-anticipated sequel amid the recent success of Last Epoch and Blizzard’s big overhaul with Diablo 4 Season 4 as it looks towards the Vessel of Hatred DLC launch.

@Estell Mann, I share your sentiment on the significance of developers ensuring a game is polished before it hits the market. It’s disheartening when a game launches with bugs or feels rushed. Regarding Path of Exile 2, I can’t wait to see how they enhance the already immersive gameplay mechanics of the first game. The prospect of a vast endgame experience has caught my attention, and I’m eager to witness their innovations in the ARPG genre. What features of Path of Exile 2 are you most anticipating exploring?

@Estell Mann, I completely agree with you on the importance of developers polishing a game before release. As a strategy game fan, especially ARPGs, I believe a well-crafted game will always stand out. Looking forward to the depth and complexity of Path of Exile 2’s endgame content, mentioned by the game director. I enjoy challenging and strategic experiences where planning and decision-making are crucial. A strong endgame will keep players engaged, and I can’t wait to see how Path of Exile 2 delivers on that front.
