Grinding Gear Games said that Path of Exile 2 as a sequel to "Dungeon Exploration" will not release its beta version this year. These can only be repaired in 2021.

Originally, it should be released at the end of 2020. In February, Chris Wilson, as the co-founder of the studio, stated that it would be affected by the coronavirus. Chinese outsourced artists are forced to stay at home. In order to prevent delays, the staff on the sequel will be transferred to the Delirium expansion.

Now, the specific date has not been confirmed. In the announcement on the forum, the community director of Path of Exile confirmed that the beta version will not be released this year.

Although the sequel will be delayed, the developers have been working hard to make the sequel appear close to time. We are looking forward to the next announcement of upcoming content. Developers will continue to collect whatever content they need in order to make technical improvements to the existing Path of Exile client.

After a short delay, Path of Exile released its latest extension on June 19.  Work has also been chaotic because of these delays. In order to ensure that the final expansion in December is not too close to the POE Orbs employees' vacation, they need to make some changes to the schedule.

In September, the next league will also begin. The POE Currency Buy team needs to work one month in advance. The December expansion will also start early. Players can purchase on IGGM if they don't have much time in Path of Exile.
