Path of Exile 2 hits early access in November with various horrific demonic entities in tow

Path of Exile 2 has just unveiled its initial early access release date, and it'll be with us later this year on November 15.

Just earlier today at Gamescom Opening Night Live , host Geoff Keighley and company pulled back the curtain on Path of Exile 2's early access release date. The hack-and-slash RPG is launching into early access on November 15, so there's just a few more months to wait until the long-awaited sequel is finally here.

The new trailer, which you can see just below, delves into what to expect from the upcoming action RPG. In short, it's a lot of hacking, and a lot of slashing, against various horrific demonic foes, all of which look like they could rip you to shreds in mere seconds.

Path of Exile 2 has actually been delayed a few times at this point, so it's been hotly anticipated by its established audience. The sequel was expected to release all the way back in 2022 , but that date was provided less than a year out from the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, so it's easy to see why the projected date slipped.

Path of Exile 2 is due to eventually launch, in full, across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. Right now, though, it's a little unclear whether it'll be entering early access across all platforms, or only on PC via Steam Early Access on November 15.
