The story so far
Path of Exile 2 is finally leaving early access this December. The launch will introduce a new class, the Duelist, and the game will be fully free to play. The announcement comes after years of anticipation and development.
The December launch marks a significant milestone, as it will be the first time the game is available to the public in its complete form. However, the transition from early access to a full launch does not necessarily mean the game is complete. According to IGN, the launch will include new content, but it is unclear whether this will be the final version of the game.
Players may still encounter bugs and issues, and the developer may continue to release updates and patches post-launch.
