Yes — the Druid is slated to join Path of Exile 2 with the 0.4.0 update, The Last of the Druids, and is set to arrive on December 12, 2025 (live stream December 4, 2025). The class is built as a Strength/Intelligence fusion, wielding a Scepter, and centers on shapeshifting into multiple forms to adapt to different combat roles Poe Vault: The Last of the Druids overview; details emerging from early previews place the Druid as a four-form class with a teased Wolf Form, expanding options beyond traditional melee or ranged play Game8: Druid Class Overview.
In human form the Druid wields nature-based abilities, including Tornado and Lightning Storm, while animal forms emphasize close-quarters power and dramatic transformations. The design aims to blend spellcasting with physical prowess, giving players a toolkit that scales through ascendancies and linked Skill Gems. A Wolf Form has been teased as part of the multi-form concept, suggesting dynamic shapeshift gameplay that can be tuned to different team needs or solo play Game8: Druid Class Overview.
As for progression, the Druid unlocks two Ascendancies — Shaman and Oracle — adding depth to its hybrid kit. Patch 0.4.0 also brings substantial system changes: dozens of new and revised gems, broad endgame adjustments, and a Fate of the Vaal league loop, all aimed at rebalancing and expanding PoE 2’s late game around release.
