More info
At launch in Early Access Path of Exile 2 offered six playable classes: Warrior, Sorceress, Ranger, Monk, Mercenary and Witch — the developer confirmed that the full game will feature twelve base classes (two for every Strength/Dexterity/Intelligence combination) and three Ascendancy specialisations per class for a total of 36 Ascendancies. See the official announcement for the Early Access Ascendancy reveal and the community class list for the full twelve-class plan (official forum announcement • community class list).
For clarity, sources commonly list the full set of twelve base classes planned for PoE2 (examples from community resources): Warrior, Sorceress, Witch, Ranger, Huntress, Mercenary, Monk, Marauder, Duelist, Shadow, Druid and Templar. Early Access also launched with only two Ascendancy options per playable class (12 Ascendancies available at start), with the remaining classes and Ascendancies being added through updates — check the developer news and patch notes for the exact timing of future class releases.
