Path of Exile 2 director didn't expect early access launch to be studio's biggest success yet, and that caused complications

“Soulslike thrills combine with sky-high production values to make Path of Exile 2 a hugely impressive package, even in early access,” I wrote in my Path of Exile 2 early access review.

Path of Exile 2 launched in early access in December last year, and I reviewed it, and loved it.

Grinding Gear Games apparently didn’t expect action role-playing game Path of Exile 2 to do as well as it did when it launched in early access late last year.
