Path of Exile 2 will launch as a fully free-to-play action role-playing game on 11 December 2026, marking the title’s 1.0 full release. The launch introduces the Duelist, a sword-focused melee class, and adds the remaining campaign acts to complete the game’s storyline.
Path Of Exile 2 Launch As F2P Title
New and existing players can register here for release news, updates and exclusive milestone rewards ahead of launch. The registration campaign runs until 10 December, with additional rewards, including exclusive effects and a pet, unlocking as more players sign up.
The Duelist is Path of Exile 2’s first sword-wielding class – according to the game’s lore, the character was raised as an orphan in the slums and trained for a place in the Grand Arena before fleeing during the Fall of Oriath, later fighting on behalf of those unable to defend themselves. The class is built around sword-and-shield combat, offering fast, aggressive and adaptable melee options.
The 1.0 Full Release will also introduce the final two campaign acts, completing the game’s story alongside a range of additional content and changes. Path of Exile 2 is available on PC, Steam, PlayStation, Xbox and the Epic Games Store.
