The developers of Path of Exile 2 are heading to gamescom 2026 in Cologne. Attendees will get hands-on time with a special demo build; if you can't make the trip, the team will run a separate reveal during the opening ceremony.

Grinding Gear Games says the gamescom broadcast will show what the studio has been working on recently. Their phrasing sounds like more than a small update — i.e., it may be a full-fledged new product — so fans of Path of Exile 2 might want to tune into the stream just in case.

If you're dropping by in person, look for the booth in hall 6.1, loc. B031. There are still free slots over the weekend for content creators and media, e.g., for hands-on demo sessions — so if that’s your scene, it’s worth checking availability.

So: what do you suppose Grinding Gear Games has up their sleeve this time?
