So what led to the above delay? Wilson explained that the studio had to move some people from the Path of Exile 2 development team to the expansion project Path of Exile Delirium coming soon to avoid delays. Normally, Grinding Gear Games allocates work to employees at agencies in Asia, but due to corona epidemic ongoing, the developer had to make adjustments to adapt to the current situation. As reported by BBC News, the number of infected people has reached 78,064 people globally. The death toll in China is about 2,715.

Wilson explains, “We hire about 30 developers who work full-time at different companies in China. After the Lunar New Year, employees are advised not to return to the office for safety reasons. to prevent virus COVID-19.”

Since this is a long-term project with a “when it’s done” release policy, Path of Exile 2 isn’t the biggest concern at this point, but we’ll still be monitoring progress on the title. games.”

While waiting for Path of Exile 2, players will experience a lot of new activities from Part 1. The PoE 3.10 release date has been set for next month and the studio will maintain the update time for the new expansion. with the progress of every three months.​
