Path of Exile 2’s latest content expansion, Return of the Ancients, will be made available for free from 29 May to 1 June. Dubbed the Free Weekend, players will be able to try out the new challenge league, Runes of Aldur, explore major endgame updates, earn limited-time cosmetics, and more.
Return of the Ancients introduces the Runes of Aldur league, where players can complete eight challenges in-game to earn a piece of the Knight of Aldur Armor Set, along with a totem decoration for their Hideout. These microtransactions are purely cosmetic and will not affect players’ character’s power in any way.
The expansion also introduces a reshaped endgame experience, powerful new Uniques, expanded crafting systems, and a completely reimagined Atlas Tree. Players can forge new paths with two new Ascendancy classes – the Martial Artist and Spirit Walker – and experience improved campaign replayability, a new Build Planner, and numerous quality-of-life features.
In addition to the in-game challenges, players can also earn the Runeseeker Discord Quest avatar decoration by playing Path of Exile 2 for 15 minutes. The Discord Quest will be available from 29 May 10AM to June 5, 5PM PDT, and can be accessed through the Discord Shop.
If you like what you see during the Free Weekend, players are encouraged to take advantage of a limited-time promotion running from 29 May to 12 June, where the Early Access Supporter Pack for Path of Exile 2 will be available at 50% off. The purchase includes full access to the game and 150 points to spend in the in-game store.
