Path of Exile 2 and More
As one of the biggest ARPGs in the world, there’s plenty of hope for PoE 2, with fans hoping it will make meaningful strides forward on the first game in areas like quality of life, with the addition of an in-game auction house and skill builder among some of the most common requests. We’re also hoping to see more of the PoE 2 campaign and its new bosses and monsters.
We’ll also be getting a look at the upcoming Path of Exile Mobile, and with beta dates to be announced we should be able to get our hands on it very soon. Here’s everything you need to know about ExileCon, including the livestream and schedule.
