Grinding Gear Games recently revealed the release schedule for Content Updates in Path of Exile 2. In particular, major updates for the game are planned to be released every four months. Since the last one came out in April, it means that one should be available in August and followed by December.

Leagues Arriving

As part of the big updates, the studio is introducing a new League. This is a way for players to experience the new content and at the same time get access to exclusive content only available in the league. Leagues are planned to contain a new combat mechanic, new rewards, new crafting options and new bosses.

During the league, players can expect to see new content appearing in every area and thus give them a new experience. Once league ends, the development team then works into how the content is integrated from league to the base game.

In addition, once the league is finished, all characters and items are transferred to the Standard leagues where players can continue to play them. The thing is, the studio shared in a post that a lot of players prefer "to play in the next league."

In a post, the studio assured everyone that the content updates are, of course, going to include a lot of new things for the base game. Since Path of Exile 2 remains to be in Early Access, there's a lot of content that's still being worked on.

For now, 0.3.0 is planned to come out on August 29. It's a little late in the month but considering that it's a big update, the studio shared that they had to work around a few constraints.

Path of Exile 2 is a free-to-play dynamic action RPG which offers an immersive storyline that involves monstrous perils and secretive cultures in the dark continent of Wraeclast. The game introduces an innovative campaign that’s spread over six engaging acts with 100 varied environments, a vast array of 600 menacing monsters, and 100 gargantuan bosses.

Path of Exile 2 is separate from its predecessor but shares the commitment to a genuine free-to-play model, offering a fair gaming environment free of pay-to-win mechanisms. Expansion packs will continue to roll out for both games, offering enduring experiences for existing fans, and new ones alike. Fans of the franchise are sure to love the familiar gameplay aspects along with the fresh twists aimed at enhancing the player experience. Get Path of Exile 2 on Steam now.
