Path of Exile 2 Beta Delayed to Later in 2024 for Further Polishing

Developers aim for a comprehensive test phase, introducing a new control scheme and maintaining the game's free-to-play model.

Path of Exile 2's closed beta, initially scheduled for June 7, 2024, has been delayed to later in the year due to the need for further polishing.
The game will still undergo alpha testing in June, with the full game expected to include a comprehensive beta test covering all aspects from start to endgame.
Grinding Gear Games has introduced a new control scheme and a Ranger class, aiming for a more action-oriented gameplay experience.
The game maintains its 'ethical free-to-play' model, offering a vast campaign, multiple environments, monsters, and a fully-fledged endgame system.
Despite the delay, developers are committed to delivering a polished game, emphasizing quality over rushing the release.
