Grinding Gear Games has been working on Path of Exile for some time. Although it continues to develop through the alliance, the arrival of Path of Exile 2 may be farther away than many people think. GGG was a tiny company when it conceived Path of Exile. Over the years, with the success of Path of Exile, the studio has grown tremendously. Path of Exile has been around for nearly eight years and has gone through many stages and changes, making it one of the most successful games of its kind, even surpassing Diablo 3. Countless players have invested time in Path of Exile to play and to buy POE Currency.
In 2019, GGG held a large-scale event dedicated to Path of Exile and its future development direction. At that time, the 4.0 expansion of the base game announced, but more importantly, another major announcement hyped: Path of Exile 2. Because of the players’ love of Path of Exile, it can expect that Path of Exile 2 will arouse extremely high heat, and it will also attract players to buy POE Currency among them. Path of Exile 2 was originally to be released in 2022, but because of the overall environment and GGG internal reasons, the latest official news claimed that the release date of Path of Exile 2 is actually 2024.
In the past two years, the release date of Path of Exile 2 has delayed repeatedly, making players feel dissatisfied. GGG mentioned earlier that developers have been working on bug fixes for Path of Exile 2. This may mean that a two-year delay is not necessarily a bad thing, because Path of Exile 2 may become a more beautiful game than it is currently. Then players may be more willing to Buy Exalted Orbs for the game. Nevertheless, the continuous delay in the release date has also brought problems that the company must face.
The release of Path of Exile 2 in 2024 and the public beta in 2023 may mean that Diablo 4 will release earlier than its competitors, which may harm the retention and interest of Path of Exile players, and even affect their willing to buy POE Currency. Path of Exile has added none new game content for a long time. How to continue to attract players to invest time and energy in it is a big problem. It is just such a monotonous game mode, how to attract new players to join is also very problematic.
