Path of Exile 2 Director Discusses Learning from Past Mistakes While Managing Dual Games Development
The director of Path of Exile 2, Jonathan Rogers, shares insights on how Grinding Gear Games is adapting its development strategy, balancing features and timelines across two game projects.
Path of Exile is shifting to a four-month update cycle.
“If you want to lock the features, you can’t lock the date,” stated Jonathan Rogers in a recent interview. Translation: If you’re focused on locking the specific features, you can’t firm up the release date.
He expressed optimism that the studio is regaining its footing despite earlier challenges in balancing features and deadlines during the development of both Path of Exile 1 and 2. Rogers emphasized the importance of consistency in their update schedule moving forward, a move anticipated by the community since the recent update delays. Upcoming patch details for the new league are set to be announced on June 5.
