Path of Exile 2 News

We’ve just released patch 0.2.1b for Path of Exile 2. With this update, all the microtransactions released in Path of Exile: Secrets of the Atlas will also be available in Path of Exile 2.

Microtransactions included in this patch are:

• Watcher's Wrath Armour Set
  
• Archon of the Atlas Armor Set
  
• Skull of Undeath
  
• Syndicate's Demise Unique Finisher Effect
  
• The Originator's Portal Effect
  
• Rose Charges
  

This patch also enables the Mercenaries Supporter Packs for Path of Exile 2. There are two series of Mercenaries Supporter Packs; the Phrecian Magistrate series and the Cryptkeeper series. Each of the two series has different exclusive cosmetic contents, like the armour sets shown below.

To see the full contents of these packs or to get yours now, visit the Path of Exile 2 shop by pressing M in-game.

If you have already purchased any pack from either of the Mercenaries Supporter Pack series in Path of Exile 1, these microtransactions will be immediately available to you in Path of Exile 2.

Thank you for your support!

Now that Path of Exile 1 has had its league, it’s time to talk about our plans for when the next Path of Exile 2 Content Update will be released! Path of Exile 2 has a lot of new players, so we thought it would be a good idea to explain how our updates work.

Major updates for Path of Exile 2 are released every 4 months. Since 0.2.0 was in April, that means the next one will be in August, and the one after that will be in December.

Our big updates, including the one coming in August include a new League. Leagues are a fresh economy for you to experience the new content update in, but they also have exclusive content that is only available in the league.

Leagues usually contain a new combat mechanic, new rewards, new crafting options and new bosses.

During the league, the new content will usually appear in every area, giving you a new experience while playing through the game. After the league ends, we then have a chance to work out how we will integrate the content from the league into the base game, meaning it’s a great way to introduce new things while still giving us a chance to fix any problems before they are in the game forever.

After the league is finished, all your characters and items will transfer to the Standard leagues where you can continue to play them, but most players usually want to play in the next league.

Of course, our content updates always contain a lot of new stuff for the base game as well. As Path of Exile 2 is still in Early Access, we have a lot of content that we haven't finished yet, and there is certainly a lot of new stuff coming!

Now for the date. 0.3.0 will be released on August 29th (PDT). It’s a little later in the month than we had hoped, but this is a big update, and there were a few other constraints we had to work around. We will be announcing the content of the release around one week beforehand. We look forward to showing you guys what we have been cooking up!

Something smells a little off in today's Build Showcase. DwaneDibbley shows us some creativity with his aptly named Fartmaster build where he marches across Wraeclast with his Ritualist and leaves foul gas and bodies of monsters in his wake. Check it out in the video below!
