The Last of the Druids is the title of Path of Exile 2’s 0.4.0 Early Access expansion and seasonal league that introduces the new Druid base class—bringing shapeshifting/primal mechanics, a new talisman weapon type, and a wave of league features and balance changes. The update was revealed in early December 2025 and went live as part of the game’s scheduled 0.4.0 rollout; it’s presented as a major content drop rather than a full 1.0 release.

Supporting features include multiple animal forms (bear and wolf have been shown in previews), new Primal skill gems that interact with shapeshifting, talismans as a unique weapon class, and a related league mechanic and event schedule; the developers also accompanied the launch with a reveal stream and a free-play weekend.
