Twenty years after the fall of Kitava, the corruption in Wraeclast is taking a new, ancient shape. The upcoming GGG Live stream, kicks off on May 7th at 1 PM PDT, promising a deep dive into how the world is evolving. This isn't just a minor progress report; the developers are bringing a new cinematic teaser and, perhaps most importantly for the meta-chasers, specific details on a significant endgame revamp.
The headline for this cycle is the "Return of the Ancients" update, scheduled to drop on May 29th. While GGG is keeping the specifics under wraps until the stream, the title suggests a return to the primordial roots of Wraeclast's power. For players, an endgame revamp often means new ways to scale difficulty and better reward loops, which is critical as we move deeper into the 0.5.0 development cycle.
If you're planning to watch, make sure your accounts are linked. Twitch Drops will be active during the broadcast on the official channel. Following the reveal, a live Q&A session will address the community's burning questions regarding character progression and the new systems being introduced.
What to expect from the May 29th update?
- Endgame Revamp: A complete look at how high-level play is being restructured.
- 0.5.0 Launch Details: The roadmap for the next major version of the game.
- New Cinematic: Fresh lore context for the rising corruption in Wraeclast.

This update represents a pivotal moment for Path of Exile 2 as it refines the core loop ahead of its full release. We’ll be watching closely to see how these "Ancients" shift the current power balance.
