On this day, during the Opening Night Live (ONL) pre-show event for Gamescom 2026 held in Cologne, Germany, Kakao Games confirmed the official launch date for 'Path of Exile 2' and began pre-registration.


Pre-registration will continue until the official launch, and more rewards will be provided based on the total number of pre-registrations. There will also be a verification event for domestic users. Through a random draw, participants will have the chance to win limited-edition merchandise such as 'Path of Exile 2' figures, mugs, desk pads, and more.


At ONL, Kakao Games also released information on the game's new class, the 'Duelist.' The Duelist is a melee combat class that uses swords and is characterized by seamless, fast-paced battles through continuous attacks and various stances that flow organically into each other.



Developed by Grinding Gear Games, 'Path of Exile 2' combines the in-depth growth and build customization unique to its predecessor with the control-based gameplay of an action RPG, making it part of the action slash genre. Following its early access release, it topped the Steam global sales charts.
