And you can check the sequel’s “next-generation action combat” in the recent gameplay video, shown during ExileCon. Which means we might only have 2 leagues left to get POE1 to where they want/need it to be. I wouldnt be surprised if the patch following Exilecon is POE2 launch. Im just super excited for this league reveal and something about it feels different than the others. With its new Expedition League, adding four new merchants, and 19 new gem skills, there is plenty of content waiting. Maybe some new mechanics which fall inline with POE2. While the news might be a bitter pill to swallow, fans still can enjoy the original title in the meantime. With a total of seven acts announced for Path of Exile 2, there's still lots of hard work ahead. The developer clarified the team has already completed about 90 percent of the first act and 75 percent of the second act of the game. “We are now in full production mode,” Wilson assured the fans. Grinding Gear also had additional problems with the whole art direction for the project to make it more distinctive from its predecessor. With New Zealand borders remaining closed for the rest of the year, it’s pretty hard to seek and hire new staff to expand the team. The pandemic and the associated effects are without a doubt to blame for the delay, as the development is progressing more slowly than originally planned. He later dives into further details, saying the team will probably reach the public beta phase at least within the next two years - that’s the summer of 2023 in the worst-case scenario. When asked whether the eagerly anticipated action RPG will hit the market before 2024, the dev replied the studio is expecting so. The full reveal of the expansion is scheduled for March 30th, when a livestream event at Twitch will introduce the new challenge league and other content additions.
