Path of Exile 2’s 1.0 release won’t need to accommodate other game releases, director says—except GTA 6: ‘That’s a Goliath I don’t want to take on quite frankly’

Jonathan Rogers, the director of Path of Exile, discussed his approach to scheduling major updates for the game, noting that the timing of other game releases rarely affects their schedule. He emphasized the strong relationship with the community, stating that they would face backlash if they delayed updates due to other game launches. Path of Exile 2 is expected to release around the same time as Grand Theft Auto 6, which launches on November 19. While Rogers does not plan to delay Path of Exile 2, he recognizes the significance of GTA 6's release. He believes that a slight buffer between the two games could help maintain momentum for Path of Exile 2. Chris Wilson, co-creator of Path of Exile, humorously compared the situation to a "David versus Goliath" dynamic, to which Rogers acknowledged the challenge posed by Rockstar Games.
