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.

Similar to the current sockets, the amount of sockets possible on an skill gem will depend on the item level:[2]
Sockets | Item Level |
---|---|
2 | 1 |
3 | 20 |
4 | 35 |
5 | 50 |
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 gems that go into the primary sockets and can have active skill gems socketed into them. For example, the Proficiency skill 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. [3]
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.
Primary sockets are still coloured based on the primary attribute associated with the item. This means strength bases have red sockets, intelligence bases have blue sockets and dexterity bases have green sockets. Hybrid items have hybrid primary sockets accordingly, so for example a strength/dexterity hybrid will have a red/green hybrid socket. In late game (maps) there will be a currency item available to change the colour of primary sockets.
Certain items like items (for example Tabula RasaTabula Rasa
Simple RobeMovement Speed: -3%Has no Attribute Requirements or Energy Shield (Hidden)
Has 6 Linked White Sockets (Hidden)) may add additional primary sockets.
Items that add skills will add a skill to the skill screen where the skill can be socketed separately.
Abyss sockets will remain unaffected by those changes and remain on the gear. [4]
Ascendancy classes
The new ascendancy classes will be not be available through the labyrinths, but other through other means in the new campaign.
Skills granted by ascendancy classes will now scale based on the character's level rather be a specific level. [5]
