Since Path of Exile 2 launched in early access, there have been many smaller patches with balance fixes and minor updates. However, 0.2.0 is the next big installment in the game’s development, bringing in the bigger changes that gamers have been waiting for. Thanks to teasers, we know the content update will bring in new Ascendancy Classes along with many new items to make the endgame more rewarding. That all sounds big enough, but Grinding Gear Games has been clear it’s holding back some of the most exciting new content for Dawn of the Hunt.
Grinding Gear Games will stream live on March 27th at 3 PM EDT to reveal everything players can expect with this next major update to Path of Exile 2. The stream will be available via the Path of Exile Twitch channel, with a replay likely available afterwards. Then, a few days later, the big 0.2.0 update will be live on PC and consoles on April 4th at 3 PM EDT.
What We Know About Path of Exile 2: Dawn of the Hunt So Far
The teaser trailer for Dawn of the Hunt doesn’t reveal much, but the teasers from Grinding Gear Games offer some insight into the big update. The teaser itself shows someone stalking their way through the woods, clearly on a hunt. This, along with the name of the update, has led many to guess that this update will include the next two classes set to arrive in Path of Exile 2 – the Druid and Huntress. Though GGG has not confirmed that the update will bring in these classes, it has been previously stated that those two would be the next additions, so it’s looking pretty likely.

Most recently, Path of Exile 2 teased the ability to save different weapon sets to more easily swap between them, and unveiled even more of the upcoming support gems.
