The game's conditionally free-to-play status continues to evolve, and more and more players are starting to get involved. Path of Exile 2 is about to be released, and with even more mechanics and creative ideas on the horizon, we can expect the new game to achieve even more popularity and be a serious competitor for Diablo IV.
