The massive content update, Patch 0.3.0, for Path of Exile 2 has officially been revealed, and with it, the full patch notes are now also available on the official forums.

This is one of the biggest updates the game has seen since Early Access began – introducing Act 4, a new Interlude system, the new Abyssals League, and sweeping balance changes to skills, passives, ascendancies, support gems, and more.

If you are not ready to scroll through pages of detailed changes, here are just a few early highlights from the patch notes:

  • Act 4 is now playable, along with three new Interludes replacing the old Cruel difficulty.
  • The Abyssals League brings a new boss-focused challenge mechanic tied into every zone.
  • Major reworks to support gems, lineage systems, and passive tree scaling.
  • The Atlas system has been revamped again, offering earlier access to bosses and more progression flexibility.
  • Dozens of new unique items, keystones, currencies, and skill gems.

There are also hundreds of smaller changes to drop rates, crafting systems, performance, and combat fluidity – so it is definitely worth checking out the full notes if you are jumping into The Third Edict.
