Path of Exile 2 Early Access Delayed to December 6 Due to Server Challenges
Grinding Gear Games cites complex server-side issues as the reason for pushing back the launch by three weeks.
- The delay is attributed to the need for extensive server-side infrastructure work to ensure microtransactions function seamlessly across Path of Exile 1 and 2.
- Game Director Jonathan Rogers has taken full responsibility for the delay, emphasizing the importance of preventing data loss and account issues.
- Originally set for November 15, the new early access launch date is December 6, 2024.
- The team is conducting additional load testing to handle the expected high player volume at launch.
- A livestream is planned in about four weeks to reveal details about the content available in early access.
