Are you wondering how long it can take to beat Path of Exile 2? This article will explain how long it takes to beat the game’s early access, the full version, and everything else.
Developed by Grinding Gear Games, Path of Exile 2 is the sequel to Path of Exile from 2013. The game will continue the core gameplay loop and challenging endgame content that made the first game so successful. However, there will be a six-act campaign with more classes this time.
An idea of a game's playtime helps determine its worth of investment. So, without further delay, let’s find out.
How long is Path of Exile 2?
As you know, Path of Exile 2 is currently in early access mode. So far, only three acts of the campaign mode have been made available to players, where they can reach a maximum of level 45. During the game Endgame content reveal stream, Game Director Jonathan Rogers mentioned that all three acts could be completed in around 25-30 hours.
Once the full game is released, there will be six acts in Path of Exile 2. So, does this mean you have to replay the first three acts in the full version? Yes, you will need to replay the first three acts, but there is a catch.
This time, however, the game mode will be set to a higher difficulty, which means boss fights will deal increased damage and be more exhausting. Interestingly, the developers have titled this "Cruel" difficulty mode, and now you understand why. This mode will last until level 65.
Upon reaching level 65, you will finally enter the endgame content of Path of Exile 2. The endgame campaign can reach level 100, and it should take 10-12 hours to complete.
There is no denying that your familiarity with the mechanics of Path of Exile (the first edition) plays a significant role here. Experienced players often finish the game a couple of hours faster than newcomers, thanks to their prior knowledge and skills.
Lastly, how can we forget that, after all, it's the player's choice as well? Many dedicated players love to explore the game environment and try out every possible outcome at their own pace.
