Path of Exile 2 is Grinding Gear Games' upcoming sequel to the developer's hit 2013 ARPG. While it was originally intended to be nothing more than a significant update to the first game, Grinding Gear opted to make Path of Exile 2 a standalone sequel instead. Judging by what it will be adding to the first game's formula, with new classes like the Mercenary and Druid as well as some starkly different combat mechanics, "sequel" does seem like the most accurate term for it. The developer has been showcasing much of Path of Exile 2's gameplay since its announcement, but even more of the sequel was revealed at PlayStation's recent State of Play event, including its early access release window.
