It’s hard to believe it’s already been a decade since Grinding Gears’ Path of Exile, especially since the game has been actively supported all that time. Indeed, its sequel was originally announced as a large update, and has since taken on a life—and an agonizing wait—of its own.
No longer, however. As part of Geoff Keighley’s Opening Night Live event, players were teased with a tantalizing cinematic trailer showing off a glimpse of Path of Exile 2‘s big bad. It’d be your standard teaser trailer in all respects if not for a bombshell announcement right at the end: Path of Exile 2 will be holding an early access period, meaning you can dive right back into monster-slaying as early as Nov. 15 of this year.
