Path of Exile 2 (initially referred to as Path of Exile 4.0) is an upcoming new game by Grinding Gear Games[1]. It was officially announced on November 15, 2019, during ExileCon[2]. Initially announced as an expansion to the first game as a major update with a shared game client, it has since changed into a separate game that will be supported alongside the first Path of Exile. GGG has not currently confirmed an official launch date. Further details are to ere revealed at ExileCon 2023 on July 29, 2023 where the Closed Beta date was announced as June 7, 2024.
Path of Exile 2 will introduce a completely new game, although already owned microtransactions will be shared between both games. There will be six acts, and an overhaul of many of the game's core systems. The skill gem system will be drastically changed, removing gem sockets from equipment and moving them to active skill gems instead. Other additions and changes include include a major visual rework with physics-based rendering, an overhaul to combat, new base classes and Ascendancy classes, and unannounced rework of the passive skill tree and endgame.
System overhaul
Characters
The character models have been reworked for higher resolution and dynamic movement. Character models also have a new rigging system that improves the physics of equipment and MTX. Characters now have new dynamic walking/running/sprinting animation based on movement speed.
Classes
Path of Exile 2 will have twelve base classes, with two classes representing each base and hybrid attributes (the Scion will not be present). Each base class has three Ascendancy classes to choose from, resulting in 36 Ascendancy classes.
The new ascendancy classes will not be available through the labyrinths, but through other means in the new campaign.
Skills granted by ascendancy classes will now scale with skill levels based on the character's progression rather than be granted at an arbitrary specific level.[3]
- Survivalist (Ranger) - Projectile effects, Spell Avoidance
- Tactician (Ranger) - Spears, Flare Arrow (meta "arrow rain" skill), ballistas, melee bow attacks
- Beastmaster (Ranger) - Shapeshift (Werecat (crit), Bear); Wild Cat Companion (Cheetah, Lion, Panther), Aspect buffs
- Defiler (Witch) -
- Arcanist (Witch) - Lightning damage and Energy system
- Unnamed Marauder - Ancestral proxies and Ancestor Totems
- Reaver - Melee and ally buffer
New gameplay
Players will have access to a dodge roll at all times. It has no cooldown or limitations to use, and can be used to cancel animations. It can be used to avoid most projectiles and attacks.
A new resource called Spirit is added. Spirit is used to reserve skills with persistent effects, upkeep permanent minions, and enable trigger meta gems.
Tougher monsters no longer have innate resistance or immunity to crowd control effects like freeze and stun. These effects now build up as it is applied and trigger when it reaches a threshold, but each time it triggers, the threshold required to trigger it again increases, although this resistance wears off over time. A new status effect call immobilise acts as a weaker stun effect.
Gold has been introduced to the game.
Skill gems & sockets
Sockets will be reworked; skill gems will receive a variable amount of sockets and can have up to 6 sockets like items did previously. Items will get a fixed amount of primary sockets based on their item class rather than a randomized amount. Skill gems can be found with varying number of sockets and colors. The number of sockets can be upgraded with special

s and each socket color can be rerolled and chosen using a

; unlike previously, those sockets are always linked, so

will become obsolete.
Support gems can be socketed into active skill gems. In addition to accounting for single support gems supporting multiple active skill gems, meta gems will also be introduced where the reverse is true: these are gems that go into the primary sockets and can have skill and support gems socketed into them. For example, the Proficiency meta gem allows socketing auras into them as well as support gems. It will reduce the mana cost of any socketed gems and since it is a skill gem itself, it can also be cast to toggle all socketed auras at the same time. [4]
Equipment items no longer have sockets. Your skill gems are socketed into its own menu. There are a total of 9 sockets for primary skill gems available.
It is currently unknown how items that grant additional sockets or add a support skill to socketed gems will function.
Many spell-oriented weapons grant an active skill as an implicit modifier, replacing the weapon's default attacks. These skills don't have any skill costs.
Certain skills like totems will have the option to select specific AI, like aggressive vs defensive.
Support gems now add to the active gem's base attribute requirements.
Uncut gems can be crafted into a new gem in the Gemcutting menu. Skills are categorized by character classes, but any class can craft gems from any other class's category.
Skill tree
Path of Exile 2 will allow you to have Specialisations, or multiple skill tree setups, for each of your weapon swap slots and shapeshift forms. Your passive tree allocation will change when you have the set weapon slot or transformation active. Only a certain amount of points gained from Books of Skill can be used for these alternate configurations.
You can set skills to only be used in specific weapon sets or form. When you use a skill assigned to another configuration, your character will swap to that weapon and skill tree allocation dynamically, with an added delay.

Lore
20 years have gone since the death of Kitava. Since his death, society has been slowly rebuilding, but Corruption has once again started to spread throughout Wraeclast. The people whisper of a ghastly living Seed that drives those around it to madness...
