'This really hurts': Path of Exile 2 early access has been delayed by three weeks

Path of Exile 2 will launch into early access three weeks later than planned due to last-minute "server side infrastructure work". More specifically, it's to do with making sure microtransactions work seamlessly across both Path of Exile and the forthcoming sequel, a long-promised feature that will, according to game director Jonathan Rogers, require a lot more load testing before it can go live...

Path of Exile 2 Delayed Three Weeks to December 6th PST

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Unfortunately we have some bad news. We have to delay Early Access for 3 weeks. The new date is the 6th of December.

We're really sorry about this one. People plan time off and things like that around our launches, but we just had to do it.

So what happened? It turns out that it isn't the game itself that we are behind on, it's a bunch of server side infrastructure work that has taken us a lot longer than we expected.

One of the key promises we made is that all your microtransactions will work across both Path of Exile 1 and 2. In order to do that, we have to integrate the account systems for not only Path of Exile 1 and 2, but also for the console realms as well.

We have to get everything perfect so that nobody loses anything they paid for, and nobody has their account broken.

So with that in mind, we have decided to delay.

We are going to be having a livestream talking all about the content you can expect in Path of Exile 2's Early Access in about 4 weeks. You can think of it like the biggest league announcement we have ever done. We're really looking forward to telling you all about the endgame content that the team has been working hard on.

Until then though, thanks for your support.
