Although the game was released in early access just over a month ago, Path of Exile 2 was a huge success for Grinding Gear Games, and it proved to be worth the wait. The action RPG isn't perfect, and it still isn't, but the foundation it's built on looks solid right now, especially with more content on the horizon. GGG has yet to release a roadmap for early access, and it's unclear if it will, but there are clearly several areas for improvement. Path of Exile 2 as well as important missing pieces of the puzzle that will see the light of day.

Why Exile 2's Dual Strategy Dominates the Meta
Path of Exile 2 offers players many ways to build their character, but two specific strategies reign supreme in the final game.
Path of Exile 2's First League
It seems likely that the year 2025 will see the release of the first League of the game, which will still happen with early access, but return everything to everyone who wants to participate. This will also introduce new gimmicks or loot Path of Exile 2 to renew the experience, and if it happens in 2025, it may appear in Q3, maybe earlier if it is ready, or at least in Q4 to celebrate a year since the release of the first entry.
The leagues are “seasonal”, a model that was adopted by PoE 1. They usually last for a few months and introduce new things for players to try, but there is no point in money, items, etc.
Additional weapon paths and 2 classes
While this may not be in the cards for 2025, Path of Exile 2The classes and Ascendancies may be released gradually over time instead of the remaining six classes and Ascendancies starting at the same time when the game is released. Nothing has been confirmed about it yet, but it is not out of the realm of possibility that another basic class, with signature weapons and two upgrades, will be released at the same time during the year 2025.
New task for PoE campaign 2
Like a new class with Ascendancy and its associated weapons, a complete Act for Path of Exile 2's campaign is not out of the realm of possibility, but it seems unlikely in 2025. Path of exileAct 4 came out years after the first title came out, and even though GGG is bigger now, the new act is still a lot of work.
A new law means that PoE 2The brutal difficulty is boosted by simply repeating Acts 1 and 2, skipping Act 3, which makes it all the more unbelievable. It is likely that GGG will release the three missing Acts together in the future.
Improvements to ineffective PoE 2 mechanism
Life and armor are arguably in a more difficult position than other defense mechanisms in the game, such as Evasion, Energy Shield, Block, and Mana. Players can combine Mana with key effects such as Eldritch Battery, Mind Over Matter, and Chaos Inoculation in Path of Exile 2because they can all combine to make a powerful defense that is fueled by tools like Grim Feast. Stacking Life isn't easy or effective due to the lack of Life related nodes in the passive tree, and Armor doesn't protect against damage. Since these are the most important part of the game, it is likely that they will be updated in 2025.
Support for Path of Exile 2 Console Players
More console support seems inevitable for the game, like a dedicated loot filter (can be done in-game) and maybe even an easier trading mechanism. Path of Exile 2 which does not require the use of trading chats or other platforms, such as PCs or mobile devices, to search official trading websites and send in-game messages to other players. These are very important, but they are not guaranteed to be released in 2025.
Changes and balances for PoE 2 Builds and Endgame
As before Path of Exile 2 OP skill nerfed patches, more balance updates could hit the game for the year. This may include buffs to classes, abilities, and unique items as well as nerfs to mechanics and interactions. The same is true of Path of Exile 2's endgame, which could use some tweaks to some Waystones and monster additions and quality of life improvements.
