Grinding Gear Games has officially launched the Early Access release of Path of Exile 2. Well, it's technically released but there are several issues that have kept players from actually playing Path of Exile 2 just yet.
First and foremost, a new client update is being deployed right now to address a crash issue that "would have affected a majority of users." This update is being rolled out around the time this news is going live.
Secondly, the servers were getting bombarded. However, this was already expected by Grinding Gear Games and is something they even issued a warning about.
Now, if you haven't yet purchased a Supporter Pack to gain access to this Early Access release, you can technically do so through either the Path of Exile website or via Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, and Epic Games. I say technically here because even the Path of Exile website is down at the moment which makes purchasing access or redeeming keys through the Path of Exile website impossible.
A dark and grim adventure awaits players who like to tackle campaigns solo or party up in a group of up to six. Choose between a Monk, Warrior, Ranger, Mercenary, Witch, or Sorceress in Path of Exile 2. Each class can ascend to two different roles upon the progression of the game, which will help immensely in clearing waves of monsters during the endgame upon completion of the Campaign.
Set twenty years after the original Path of Exile, the forsaken continent of Wraeclast has been free of devastation. However, the Count of Ogham, tempted by the promise of power, unleashes Corruption on the land, resulting in the undead rising, mutating monsters, and spreading madness.
Under the dark influence of Corruption, the Count metes out death sentences to those who question him. Escaping the clutches of your executioners and narrowly making it to survival, players must track down the Seed of Corruption, the source of the devastation.
Players can expect to fight 50 bosses and 400 monster types in Early Access, along with seven distinct endgame systems for Path of Exile 2, which includes the Ascension Trials, Delirium, Rituals, and more. A second Campaign difficulty, titled Cruel Difficulty, is also added, which allows Exiles to rediscover Wraeclast in a much more challenging setting with greater rewards.
