Grinding Gear Games says Path of Exile 2’s 1.0 version is coming in December, ending earlier uncertainty about whether the release would slip into 2027. The announcement outlines what players can expect from the full launch package, including a completed campaign.
Across outlet previews, the December 1.0 release is described as including two new classes and additional content beyond the campaign. Coverage also points to a new league, with details framed as either a broad overview of launch features or a more structured breakdown of the specific additions.
While the outlets agree on the core elements of the 1.0 release, their presentation differs slightly: one emphasizes that the release date is “locked in,” another leads with a comprehensive “what’s included” list, and a third highlights the game’s free-to-play status alongside the two new classes and a league mechanic tied to strategy-style gameplay. All three sources reference Grinding Gear Games’ updates and the Exilecon 2026 context.
