Path of Exile 2 targets a 1.0 launch this year, with some classes arriving after release
Grinding Gear Games plans to launch Path of Exile 2 in full as version 1.0 later this year after ExileCon, prioritizing a solid endgame and completing Acts 5–6; several missing character classes will be delayed beyond launch (likely Marauder, Duelist, Shadow, Templar) as long as the game feels complete, with callbacks to maintain balance and quality. Patch 0.5.0 Return of the Ancients arrives May 29 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, and the final release will be free-to-play.
