Currently, 12 classes are planned for Path of Exile 2. The eighth — Druid — is scheduled to appear in the game on December 12.
Initially, Grinding Gear Games wanted all these classes to be present in PoE 2 with the release of the full version 1.0, but now the game director doubts that this will be possible.
Jonathan Rogers said:
Ideally, I would like to release all classes [by the time of release 1.0], but now I'm starting to suspect that, most likely, we won't be able to cope.
Rogers explained that the PoE 2 team has more priority tasks than releasing classes — refining gameplay and introducing new types of weapons and mechanics.
The developers of Path of Exile 2 hope to be able to release the full version of the game in 2026.
