I'm not going to bury the lead on this one. The closed beta invites for PUE 2 just went out today. I don't know if there will be multiple rounds of them like there were for the actual surveys to get into the Path of Exile closed beta, but the invites officially have started going out. It's a happy day for everyone. Everybody, don't be sad just because you didn't get invited. I did not get invited. Be happy for those who are getting in and that we are finally getting our hands on Path of Exile 2 on our own computers because you know what that means. It means that PUE 2 isn't going to be deleted any longer. This year is when it's going to be coming out. We think that it's probably going to get an early access announcement date after Gamescom, which is next week. And it looks like, judging from some information that we're getting about these closed beta tests, that the closed beta is ongoing next week. So this video is going to run down all the information that we know right.

out of the gate about the closed beta test, which should be beginning very soon, and then a little bit of a precursor to what we will be seeing about Path of Exile 2 in the upcoming days, weeks, and months. So yeah, let's lead with this. I did not get in, and it looks like plenty of people didn't get in because this is a small closed beta test. I don't know how many people are being chosen exactly. My guess was 2,000. Other people were saying between 3,000 and 5,000. We don't exactly know the numbers. So they've gone out. I don't know if they'll be in waves. I'm guessing they're not in waves. I'm guessing everyone who got in is going to have already received that pass. And this right here is what it looks like. Path of Exile 2 closed beta test. You have been selected, Talamo Moana Exile. You've been invited to participate in The Path of Exile 2 closed beta. I love that they use

Tana, please use the link below to create a Path of Exile 2 account or use your existing Path of Exile account if you have one. Somebody tagged me immediately when they got it. We also see that there's a Reddit thread here. Pee2 invites are going out from Cryptographer, a part 11. Howdy everyone, just wanted to give a notice that invites are being sent out for pee2 as I just got invited in, so be sure to check emails. Everyone is either saying, Dang, didn't get in, or Yes, I got in. Of course, then there's me happy for everybody as we all should be. Now, in addition to knowing that the invites have actually gone out, it also looks like the beta test will be under NDA. So, this is a wild move from Grinding Gear Games, and I really, really hope that it works out for them. If you're watching this video and you were in the closed beta test, do not leak anything. Don't leak anything, you guys. If you sign an NDA, please do not break the NDA. Grinding

gear games obviously does not want all this information to get out into the public. They want you to test the game as they are giving it to you. They don't want the info to go out. They don't want people like me to almost be forced to cover it, and that's going to be a decision I'm going to have to make because wow, I actually haven't thought about that. Will I cover leaked data or will I not cover leaked data? I'll have to think about that in a later video. Let me know what you think below on that exactly. Wow, that is a conundrum, my goodness. Okay, but just if you get in, don't share it. You're under NDA. Play it, give them your feedback, and make the game better for us all on release day, whenever that might be. Now it's under NDA, and it looks like it's happening next week. I've only seen a few people saying this. Somebody said, Your mom goes to college. Yep, just got mine, didn't.

realize it was starting next week, so that's very odd. Although, is it because also next week and not this coming week but the week after? I know lots of people debate on how exactly to say that, so I'm saying the week of Gamescom, August 20th, is Opening Night Live. I think that there's going to be a massive Path of Exile 2 announcement on that Tuesday at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time, 11:00 a.m. Pacific Time, and people are going to learn about the Early Access release date of POE2. And that day, the early, or not the Early Access, but the closed beta test will go live for this selected group of, you know, 1,000, 2,000, 3,000, 4,000, 5,000 players. They'll test it for a week, and then I'm going to guess, I'm still saying November 29th is the release date for all of us, but I think there will be a few other closed beta tests leading up to release, and that is

also something that was also confirmed inside of the survey that we all received that this is the first closed beta test of many or not many multiple so there may be others leading up to that early access release. I'd guess three. I'm guessing there's going to be one in August, one in September, one in October, and then it's going to release in November. And my guess is November 29th. I think that's everything that we know, everybody. I'll keep the video short. Yep, it's only about 4 minutes right now or 4-5 minutes, whatever. But that's all we know. I had to get something out there. I'm so excited. Congratulations to all of you that got into the closed beta test. Have a wonderful time and make sure you thoroughly test the game, test all the broken interactions. I hope they got a wide range of people with different graphics cards in there to make sure that all of our computers will be optimized when we run it. Just remember, like, it's been a long time coming. You know, we learned about

this in 2019. They began work for it in 2017. This is a long journey, and you are going to be among the first to be actually playing it on your computers. And even though I'm happy for you, I'm a little bit jelly. I'm a little bit envious, I won't lie. Okay, I'm happy for you, but I wish I was there with you. And I wouldn't be telling anybody if I was. So have a wonderful time, everybody. Make sure if you like this type of video and you like the latest PE2 news to hit the like button and subscribe to Talk to Try for more PE2 content.
