Path of Exile 1 Update Delayed Due to Path of Exile 2 Issues
Grinding Gear Games (GGG) has apologized for delaying Path of Exile 1's 3.26 update, originally slated for late October 2024 and then mid-February 2025. The delay is attributed to the unexpected challenges encountered during the development and launch of Path of Exile 2.
GGG had committed to continuing updates for Path of Exile 1 even after the launch of its sequel. However, the entire Path of Exile 1 team was reassigned to address critical issues with Path of Exile 2's endgame before its December 2024 release. While initially believing they could return to Path of Exile 1's 3.26 update in time for its February target, the severity of Path of Exile 2's problems—including crashes and balance issues—made this impossible.
In a video message, game director Jonathan Rogers acknowledged the studio's miscalculation, stating they were "fooling ourselves" about having sufficient time. He explained the decision to prioritize Path of Exile 2's stability, saying he couldn't justify diverting experienced developers while the sequel faced significant challenges.
The delay means Path of Exile 1 players have been waiting since July 2024's "Settlers of Kalguur" league for new content. While a release date for 3.26 remains uncertain, Rogers assures players that GGG has a plan in place and is committed to its eventual release. He also expressed regret for the handling of the situation, admitting to overconfidence in managing two games concurrently.
Path of Exile 2's early access launch on December 6, 2024, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S was ultimately a success, achieving remarkable player numbers and ranking as one of Steam's most played games.
