I’ve been writing about video games, television and movies for Forbes for over 10 years, and you may have seen my reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. I cover all manner of console and PC games, but if it’s about looting or shooting, I’m definitely there. If I’m watching something, it’s usually science fiction, horror or superheroic.
GamingPath of Exile 2 is about to be released on launch day here, Friday, December 6, but if you woke up expecting to play after downloading the game on Steam, for instance, you were met with a message that simply says “Planned Release Date: Coming Soon.” Not very helpful.
Well, servers did not in fact go live early morning here in the Americas, but they will be online soon enough. The server activation/release times for Path of Exile 2So you have to wait until early lunchtime on the west coast and mid-afternoon on the east coast. Given that most people will be in work or school that is not the end of the world, but if you’re say, me, that’s kind of too bad, as I was planning to play moment one here.“We’ve just reached 1 million Early Access redemptions.
It is certainly not unexpected that Path of Exile 2 will launch with queues or possible server issues. However, if you believe in miracles, maybe it can pull a Marvel Rivals, which launched last night with essentially zero problems, instant matches, no queues and no lag. It was kind of incredible, albeit a unicorn in the scope of online releases.
As for Path of Exile 2, this game is about to hit the ARPG scene like a meteor, and even Diablo execs have gone from taking shots at the game to talking about how excited they are to start playing. Hopefully that will push Blizzard to improve Diablo even further now that it’s about to get some exceptionally serious competition. We’ll see how all this unfolds later today when servers go up.Our community is about connecting people through open and thoughtful conversations.
