Early Access Announcements - Path of Exile 2 0.5.0 Timeline - Forum

Please have the duelist and 2hand swords. You really need to test melee as the only true melee currently in-game is quarterstaff strike bros.	Posted by BendingTheSpoon#7318 on Feb 18, 2026, 6:42:26 PM Quote this Post

Why does PoE2 get 5 months and pushed back dev time? If my guess is right, and 0.5.0 is may 12th, then were looking at 83 more days, meaning were not even half way through 0.4.0 time period. Sigh. PoE2 0.4 was the biggest atrocity in GGG history. Give them 2 years if it means never releasing something as bad as that ever again. Poe2 0.4 is the most adored league besides perhaps 0.1 according to community sentiment.	Posted by Themble#1663 on Feb 18, 2026, 6:52:37 PM Quote this Post

Desperately hoping for a Gemcutting UI improvement and more gem drops. Experimentation with builds right now is extremely limited.	Posted by Jerdslaw#6583 on Feb 18, 2026, 7:44:24 PM Quote this Post

Hope its a good one fellas. 0.4 was kinda dull. Give us swords and axes please. You can flush the Atziri's Temple down the toilet bowl sadly.	Posted by Valiantheart99#6915 on Feb 18, 2026, 8:19:26 PM Quote this Post

Uh. Early April should have been start of next league. The 4 month release plan is already not working out… Last edited by Hendel#1528 on Feb 18, 2026, 9:17:22 PM	Posted by Hendel#1528 on Feb 18, 2026, 9:17:01 PM Quote this Post
True. It's FOUR weeks of paid leave. "All employees become entitled to 4 weeks annual holidays (annual leave) after 12 months of continuous employment."	Posted by TheColonel#3635 on Feb 18, 2026, 9:22:39 PM Quote this Post
