Path of Exile 2 launches into early access

The Early Access for Path of Exile 2 has launched today, offering six characters, distinct endgame content, and couch co-op with full cross-play and cross-progression on all supported platforms.

Players can purchase their Early Access key or supporter packs here.

A dark and grim adventure awaits players who like to tackle campaigns solo or party up in a group of up to six. Choose between a Monk, Warrior, Ranger, Mercenary, Witch, or Sorceress in Path of Exile 2. Each class can ascend to two different roles upon the progression of the game, which will help immensely in clearing waves of monsters during the endgame upon completion of the Campaign.

Set twenty years after the original Path of Exile, the forsaken continent of Wraeclast has been free of devastation. However, the Count of Ogham, tempted by the promise of power, unleashes Corruption on the land, resulting in the undead rising, mutating monsters, and spreading madness.

Under the dark influence of Corruption, the Count metes out death sentences to those who question him. Escaping the clutches of your executioners and narrowly making it to survival, players must track down the Seed of Corruption, the source of the devastation.

Players can expect to fight 50 bosses and 400 monster types in Early Access, along with seven distinct endgame systems for Path of Exile 2, which includes the Ascension Trials, Delirium, Rituals, and more. A second Campaign difficulty, titled Cruel Difficulty, is also added, which allows Exiles to rediscover Wraeclast in a much more challenging setting with greater rewards.
