Path of Exile 2 (initially referred to as Path of Exile 4.0) is an upcoming expansion for Path of Exile. It was officially announced by Grinding Gear Games on November 15, 2019, during ExileCon[1]. GGG doesn't have a release date for Path of Exile 2 yet, but it is unlikely to enter a Beta phase until at least very late 2020.
Path of Exile 2 will introduce a completely new campaign storyline, consisting of seven acts. It will also overhaul the skill gem system, removing gem sockets from equipment and moving them to active skill gems instead.
Overhauls
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 and items will get a fixed amount of primary sockets based on their item class rather then a randomized amount. Skill gems can be found with varying amount of sockets and the sockets can be rerolled with 
Jeweller's OrbJeweller's OrbStack Size: 20Reforges the number of sockets on an itemRight click this item then left click a socketed item to apply it. The item's quality increases the chances of obtaining more sockets.
and 
Chromatic OrbChromatic OrbStack Size: 20Reforges the colour of sockets on an itemRight click this item then left click a socketed item to apply it.
; unlike previously, those sockets are always linked, so 
Orb of FusingOrb of FusingStack Size: 20Reforges the links between sockets on an itemRight click this item then left click a socketed item to apply it. The item's quality increases the chances of obtaining more links.
will become obsolete, it is not clear however, whether it will be mitigated or repurposed.
Support gems can be socketed into active skill gems. In addition to account for single support gems supporting multiple active skill gems, meta-skill gems will also be introduced where the reverse is true: these are support gems that go into the primary sockets and can have active skill gems socketed into them. [2]
Items will have a fixed number of sockets based on their item class:
- 2 hand weapons: 4 Sockets
- 1 hand weapons and Shields: 2 Sockets
- Body Armours: 2 Sockets
- Gloves: 1 Socket
- Boots: 1 Socket
- Helmets: 1 Socket
This means a total of 9 sockets for primary skill gems are available.
It is unclear what will happen to
