The Duelist is set to become one of the most anticipated additions to Path of Exile 2 when the game reaches its 1.0 Full Release on December 11, 2026. Alongside the class, Grinding Gear Games will introduce the long-awaited swords weapon category, giving players a new fast-paced melee archetype built around precision, physical damage, defensive reactions, and stance management.
PoE 2 Trial of Chaos 0.5.5 brings 30 rooms, Wager Modifiers, better rewards, and Trialmaster Fragments. Learn the new mechanics and best strategies.
Path of Exile 2’s upcoming 0.5.5 update is shaping up to be a short-cycle event patch designed to bridge the current version and the eventual 1.0 release. Rather than introducing another massive expansion, Grinding Gear Games (GGG) appears focused on class balance, ascendancy development, skill adjustments, and improvements to existing systems.
