Kakao Games has revealed the official launch schedule for Grinding Gear Games’ hack-and-slash PC online game Path of Exile 2 and opened global pre-registration.
Kakao Games (co-CEOs Kim Tae-hwan and Lee Si-woo) announced on August 26 that it has confirmed the launch schedule for Path of Exile 2, a hack-and-slash PC online game developed by Grinding Gear Games (Game Director Jonathan Rogers), and initiated the pre-registration process.
Grinding Gear Games officially announced the full service launch date for Path of Exile 2 as December 12 (KST) during Gamescom 2026 Opening Night Live (ONL) on August 26.
At the same time, a pre-registration webpage was opened for players worldwide, accepting registrations until the official launch. Players can participate by submitting their email address on the dedicated page, with rewards scaling according to the cumulative number of pre-registered users.
An exclusive verification promotion for Korean players has also been prepared by Kakao Games. Players who complete global pre-registration and upload a verification photo on Kakao Games’ event webpage will be entered into a draw to win various physical merchandise, including limited-edition Path of Exile 2 figures, mugs, and desk mats.
Detailed information about the new class, the ‘Duelist,’ was also introduced at Gamescom 2026 ONL. The ‘Duelist’ is a melee combat class utilizing swords, characterized by fast-paced and stylish action achieved by seamlessly stringing together diverse attack animations and multi-hit combos.
Having reached #1 on Steam’s global top-sellers chart following its Early Access launch and consistently maintaining top rankings in Korean PC cafes whenever major expansions drop, Path of Exile 2 merges the extensive progression structure and build design systems of its predecessor with precise controls.
Further details regarding the official launch and pre-registration can be found in the Gamescom ONL video and on the official website.
