Play Path of Exile 2, or play a Path of Exile 2 beta/early release?

Are you saying PoE2 will be finished by the time Gamescon happens?


Will be an arranged and planned showcase of content with parts of act 2 (or 3 maybe) leading to a boss fight. So basically they will show content of 30 minutes playtime to keep the queue small enough for the fans attending the event.


I have no expectation and assume it will be heavily scripted & setup up (like 2019 exilecon) to make it look it's nearly finished when in fact it's still years away in an enjoyable and playable state.

Masterpiece of 3.16 lore
"A mysterious figure appears out of nowhere, trying to escape from something you can't see. She hands you a rusty-looking device called the Blood Crucible and urges you to implant it into your body."

Only usable with Ethanol Flasks
Lets goo!
Yoooo!!!! That is awesome! I'll be sure to be there. Looking forward to find out about the fan meet-up.

Where did they say it's acts 2 and 3 play through?
I'm putting the dots together from the information we got so far and assuming they want to show new acts and not act 1 again like in 2019. Showing something new makes more sense to get you hyped.


This is the PoE world map, so you can take a reference where all locations are from the trailers:
Spoiler



The last gameplay preview was little bit than a year ago where they showcased act 2. It's near Maraketh, which is to the north east.

The recent Ngamakanui trailer shows a location from the south west.

Aggorat trailer (Vaal themed) is presumably around the area of Lira Vaal, so roughy center part of Wraeclast.

Different biomes that would results in different acts considering the distance to each other.
