We'll stand by our Zoom machines and wait to hear about what's next for the dungeon crawler. Shacknews has been checking in with Grinding Gear on a regular basis, most recently getting details on Path of Exile's Heist update. It's currently unknown whether this new delay will drastically affect Path of Exile going forward or whether it will have any effect at all on the upcoming Path of Exile 2 or Path of Exile Mobile. Wilson previously noted back during the Harvest expansion reveal that COVID-19 had affected Path of Exile's development slightly, but with New Zealand tackling the pandemic in such an efficient manner, Wilson later stated that development was fully back on track. In the meantime, let's all get out our Albino Rhoa Feathers and pray to Kuduku that they don't delay again. We'll post details about this as soon as we have more information about these dates and when we'll be announcing 3.13. While this delay will hopefully not affect our development schedule, it will probably cause our release schedule to change a little bit during 2021. We'll confirm details of these event(s) once we have put together a plan. So that you still have some interesting Path of Exile stuff to play over the Christmas/New Year break, we're planning to run at least one multi-week event (for example, Flashback). During the month of delay before release, we will start work on the 3.14 expansion. The scope of this expansion will remain unchanged. We still expect to finish 3.13 by early/mid-December. We do not want to put our players in a position of having to choose between these two games, so we have decided to step out of the way and delay the release of Path of Exile 3.13 until January. Yesterday, CD Projekt Red announced that Cyberpunk 2077 will now be released on December 10. As we discussed last week, our new development methodology gives us confidence that we'd be able to hit this date with a high quality expansion. We were previously targeting a launch date of December 11 for our 3.13 end-game expansion. Grinding Gear CEO Chris Wilson posted the following to the Path of Exile website: On Wednesday, the team announced that Path of Exile's next expansion would be delayed by a month in order to accommodate Cyberpunk 2077's new release date. This trend looks to hold true, as the team at Grinding Gear Games is essentially admitting that it can't compete with this juggernaut. If we've noticed a trend throughout 2020 in gaming, it's that a Cyberpunk launch date is usually followed by a number of games getting out of its way. The team works on a 13-week development cycle, but because Harvest took 14 weeks, you should expect a slight delay for the December expansion, although nothing is confirmed so far.The biggest news story of the week in the gaming world so far has been the latest delay for the highly-anticipated Cyberpunk 2077.

The team said a beta version would be available by late 2020, but then the pandemic happened and the beta had to be delayed to 2021. Engine improvements (particularly in the physics of the game).A new storyline alongside the original campaign (both lead to the same endgame).So, for example, your cosmetics or your PoE currency will be safe, which is great! Changes in the core systems include, according to the official Path of Exile website: It will be a complete overhaul, though you will be able to carry your old stuff. Players will be able to choose whether to play the old or the new campaign for the game since PoE 2 will have the same client so it will work more like an expansion than anything else.Īndy Chalk from PC Gamer reported in November last year about the upcoming changes. Grinding Gear took a different approach: allow for both campaigns to be played, combining them into one game. It’s not a new game, but it’s much more than just a regular expansion. ![]() This is definitely the most awaited update for PoE players. As for the mobile versions announced, there’s no release date announced, either for Android and iOS. If you’re a Mac user, here’s some great news!
