Path of Exile 2 release date coming soon as early access gets final patch

Grinding Gear Games says Path of Exile 2 patch 0.5, “Return of the Ancients,” will be the last major update before the game leaves early access.

The studio did not give a firm 1.0 date, but it signaled a launch window around late 2026, likely near ExileCon.

Planned release features include more classes, additional language support, and on-the-fly input switching.
