Here are a few new teasers for what you can expect to see in Content Update 0.2.0. Check them out below!

We'll be adding a Quality of Life feature that lets you lock your main hand, off-hand or both, so that you can use the same item(s) between weapon sets 1 and 2!

We've mentioned before that we're adding a plethora of new Support Gems to give skills that lacked them more options! Here are a couple new ones you can expect to see: Battershout and Perfection!

We're continuing to improve the visual and audio fidelity of Path of Exile 2. Here's a sneak peek of the visual upgrade to Essences!

If you missed any of the previous teasers, you can check out all of them in our main teaser thread here[www.pathofexile.com]. There's a lot more to come in this Content Update! Stay tuned for further announcements!

The second Path of Exile 2: Act 3 Doryani Kill race event begins in one hour! Establish yourself as one of the fastest racers and earn your very own Demigod’s Virtue Unique item. Think you’re faster than Angormous? You can create a character in 30 minutes to prove it! In order to join, click the "Join" button for the race in the Character Select screen. You'll then be prompted to create a character. Once you've spawned in, you won't be able to move your character until the race starts.

Please note that in order to provide an even playing field for all participants and a much more enjoyable viewing experience, we'll be restricting the aspect ratio to 16:9 for these race events. Any players found to be circumventing this change by modifying their game files will be disqualified from the event and their account will be banned for breaching our Terms of Use.

If you would rather sit back and enjoy the spectacle this race will be hosted live on https://twitch.tv/pathofexile with shoutcasting by ZiggyD[twitch.tv] and RaizQT[twitch.tv]. Co-streaming is welcome!

Good luck to everyone who plans to participate!

It has been a while since we've highlighted the artistic talents of our community, so we've gathered up some of the Path of Exile 2 fanart created by talented Exiles! Check them out below.

Welcome to Build Showcase, a video series where we look at amazing builds from the Path of Exile 2 community that have caught our attention.

The first build we're looking at in this series is a Warrior put together by Struth Gaming. It forgoes the typical melee playstyle in favour of crossbow attacks - and somehow manages to explode entire screens with a single volley! Check it out in the video below.

For more information on this build, check out Struth Gaming's written guide here[maxroll.gg] or the video guide here.

We'd also like to take this opportunity to remind you that the first Path of Exile 2 Race Event starts soon, at 11am on March 2nd (PST). Check out the full details of the event here[www.pathofexile.com].

We have to keep the big changes coming to Path of Exile 2 under wraps for now, but here's a few new teasers for what you can expect to see in Content Update 0.2.0. Check them out below!

Content Update 0.2.0 will have some new Ascendancy Classes! Here's the illustration for one. I wonder what this guy specialises in…

Countless wars have left you with skills somewhat resembling a decent officer...
These two new Unique items coming in 0.2.0 will be sure to raise your spirits while outing your enemies as the low-lifes they really are. Check out Prism Guardian and The Deepest Tower!

Content Update 0.2.0 has a lot of improvements to the Endgame coming, including improvements and new choices for the Atlas Passive Skill Tree.

If you missed any of the previous teasers, you can check out all of them in our main teaser thread here[www.pathofexile.com]. There's a lot more to come in this Content Update! Stay tuned for further announcements.

In the lead up to Early Access for Path of Exile 2, we put together an artbook showcasing a collection of works from our amazing artists that they made during the development of the game. Check out some pages from "The Art of Path of Exile 2" below!

You can get your own copy of "The Art of Path of Exile 2" for a limited time by purchasing the Liberator of Wraeclast Supporter Pack.

Thanks for your support!

We've recently hired a new data analyst that some of you may recognise from the community, Lilylicious! Part of her work involves gathering information from game logs, which can provide some interesting stats. Check out a snapshot of fun stats below!

These stats are from the 18th-25th of February 2025, representing a week's worth of Early Access data:

• Total gold dropped - 899 billion (this works out to be about 1.5 million gold per second!)
  
• Total player deaths - 14.5 million
  
• Mean player level - 75
  
• Median player level - 89

As an extra little stat, the logs for the week accumulate to ~1.5TB of data. Pulling this info from the logs was quite time consuming, which is why we've just done a one week snapshot. We're keen to post more stats like these in the future, and are developing tools to let us do so more easily and comprehensively. Since writing this post, we've actually improved our system so that the same data takes only about 115GB to store while remaining easy to work with. Let us know if there's anything in particular you'd like to see!

Path of Exile 2 introduced some amazing bosses into the world of Wraeclast and we wondered… who would win in a clash between them? Today we’ve pitted the Mighty Silverfist against the savage Rathbreaker!

Let us know who you would like to see next, perhaps we can find out who is the strongest of them all!
