As Path of Exile 2 rolls on, PoE 1’s lead dev may have left Grinding Gear Games

Between Last Epoch, Diablo 4, Lost Ark, and dozens of others, there’s a lot of competition in the ARPG world right now. Slick mechanics and eye-catching design help you stand out, but developers will tell you that the secret to success is having a good bond with your community. The launch of Path of Exile 2 has been occasionally bumpy, but largely, Grinding Gear Games still gets a lot of love from its players. Chris Wilson, who served as lead designer and co-director on the original PoE, has been a mainstay on GGG forums and became the ‘face’ of the studio during the original game’s creation. However, official documents suggest Wilson may have left.
