Path of Exile 2 Patch 0.4.0: The Last of the Druids Arrives December 12

The wait is over! The highly anticipated Druid class is finally charging into Path of Exile 2. Mark your calendars for December 12, when Patch 0.4.0: The Last of the Druids launches simultaneously on PC and consoles.

To build the hype, Grinding Gear Games (GGG) will host a special GGG Live stream on December 4, revealing the Druid's full gameplay mechanics, skills, and more.

Unleash the Fury of Nature: The Druid is Here

A new teaser trailer has given us the first official look at the Druid's signature werewolf form, promising fast-paced, savage melee combat. The enigmatic voiceover in the trailer is widely believed to be the Druid himself, a mystery that will be solved during the December 4 deep dive.

This marks the second new class introduced during PoE 2's early access, following the Huntress, and is set to dramatically expand viable build diversity.

How to Play Patch 0.4.0: Free Weekend Announced

While Path of Exile 2 remains in paid early access, GGG is celebrating the Druid's arrival with a full free weekend open to everyone on all platforms. No purchase required!

Free Weekend Schedule

Starts: December 12, 3 PM (Your Local Time)

Ends: December 15, 3 PM (Your Local Time)

This mirrors the incredibly smooth free weekend for Patch 0.3.0, so players can expect a stable and enjoyable experience.

What Else to Expect?

While the Druid is the headliner, the community is abuzz with speculation about additional content. Could we see new weapon types like swords? For now, it's best to keep expectations focused on the Druid, with any surprises likely being revealed during the GGG Live stream.

Your Perfect Chance to Jump Into PoE 2

Whether you're a veteran Exile or a curious newcomer, the Patch 0.4.0 free weekend is the perfect opportunity to experience Path of Exile 2. Master the primal power of the Druid, explore the sprawling campaign, and see for yourself why it's one of the most anticipated ARPGs.
