Hello Otakus! Today, I have news that will make many people shudder, especially among those of you who are impatiently waiting Path of Exile II. Indeed, Grinding Gear Games has announced that the early access launch date, initially scheduled for November 15, has been postponed to December 6.
This decision was confirmed by Jonathan Rogers, the game’s director, who shared a heartfelt message about the reasons for the delay. Contrary to what one might think, it is not the game itself that is the problem, but rather complications with the server infrastructure that took longer than expected. In his explanations, Jonathan highlighted the importance of ensuring full compatibility of microtransactions between Path of Exile I and II. For this, it is essential to merge account systems, especially between different platforms, including consoles.
This integration is not an easy task. Indeed, migrating old and large databases is a complex task, full of surprises. Between accounts that share names or email addresses, or those with identical Steam IDs, it is imperative to avoid any errors that could compromise the player experience. Jonathan insisted that the studio prefers to take the time necessary to ensure that everything works perfectly and that players do not lose any of their acquisitions.
It is obvious that this decision was not easy for the development team to make, as evidenced by the tone of its message. However, the priority remains to deliver a quality product, without technical problems that could affect the arrival of a large community of players.
While waiting for this new launch date, a livestream session is planned in approximately four weeks. The team will reveal details about the content that we will be able to discover during this early access phase, and they promise that it will be an event worthy of the big announcements of Path of Exile. Stay tuned, as there are plenty of surprises ahead, including details on what the game has to offer in terms of end-game content.
In the meantime, keep your spirits up, Otakus! This small delay could well result in an even richer and carefully refined gaming experience. We meet again in December to dive together into the twists and turns of Path of Exile II !
