Grinding Gear Games is likely going to release the highly-anticipate Path of Exile 2 in 2022, citing COVID-19 pandemic challenges that delayed work on the title.
“I hate to blame COVID for stuff, but that is a big part of it at the moment,” Grinding Gear’s Chris Wilson said, according to PC Gamer.
Path of Exile 2 was announced at Grinding Gear’s ExileCon in November 2019, and there was an initial goal to have a beta available by “very late 2020”.
“We have had difficulty hiring internationally because the borders to New Zealand are closed, so that has curtailed the exponential growth of our asset creation team a little bit.
“The progress of development hasn’t been as fast as we wanted, and so our goal is to bash as hard as we can during 2021 on Path of Exile 2 stuff and see how much headway we make. Trying to get as much done as possible, and that’ll give us a better idea of a good release date we can estimate, which should be towards the end of the year.”
