Path of Exile 2 Sets The Stage For Massive Update Alongside December Launch

The campaign will wrap up and the Shadow class will be introduced next month

At ExileCon 2026, Grinding Gear Games gave us a deep dive into everything we can expect to be added to Path of Exile 2 by the time its 1.0 launch happens next month. That includes a new stealth-driven class, two more narrative acts for its campaign, and a new league called Conquerors of Wraeclast.

The most obvious thing that Path of Exile 2's 1.0 launch will do is wrap up the main campaign with Acts 5 and 6. This will exponentially increase the amount of content in the game, with a press release teasing that 24 new areas and 18 new bosses will come to the game as part of these final two acts. Players will also now have access to a new stealth-driven Shadow class, which lets players lay traps on the battlefield, chain kills to keep reset their stealth cooldown time, and summon Shades to fight alongside them.

If you just want to boot up Path of Exile 2 and play through its campaign, 1.0 seems like the time to do so. For those who plan on sticking around after finishing the campaign, there are a lot of other things for you to look forward to in the endgame. For example, Shadow has two new Ascendancy classes, the Assassin and the Infiltrator. Meanwhile, the Duelist class gains the Knight Ascendancy, which gives them access to a squire companion and other new abilities.
