This month PC Gamer delivers world-exclusive access to Path of Exile 2, the exciting new action RPG from Grinding Gear Games. To deliver our readers the inside scoop, PC Gamer travels to GGG’s headquarters in Auckland, New Zealand, to go hands-on with the game for several hours, interview its developers, and discover exactly what is going to be on offer when the game launches into Early Access later this year. And, from what we’ve played so far, Path of Exile 2 is an expansive, confident sequel, and one that very much has Diablo IV’s throne in its sights.

This issue of PC Gamer magazine also features another great feature. On the one-year anniversary since its launch, PC Gamer speaks to Remnant 2 developer Gunfire Games about making a looter-shooter game outside of the live service grinder and succeeding. With fantastic reviews from thousands of gamers on Steam, as well as a trio of well-received DLCs already under its belt over the last year alone, there’s plenty to be enthusiastic about for Gunfire Games, and here we get the inside story of the game’s rollercoaster development and release, as well as what we can expect to see from Remnant 2 going forward.
