Is there actual story / lore on endgame content or is that limited to the single player campaign?

I'm kind of in a rush to finish the story / lore portion of this game in preparation for PoE2.

I just wanna know up to when should I keep playing. Am I good with just the campaign or do I need to check out endgame stuff for the complete story / lore dump?

I will not play PoE1 after PoE2 is out.

The endgame post campaign (Atlas), is actually where you get cosmos lore and start finding out that the whole universe (if there is one), is basically dreams within dreams besieged by elder evils within dying multiverses. :D :D

You could try and finish before PoE2 comes out to experience it yourself, but there's tons of lore videos on PoE.

So the answer is yes even though most everyone skips/ignores a lot of lore, the game actually has a very complex/indepth setting full of eldritch mystery like a Lovecraftian novel. Almost all uniques have descriptions that have some insight on it all but very hard to piece together correctly.

I say keep playing and maybe check out some lore videos that are mostly speculation on what the hell is actually going on. :p

Since the Atlas does not extend into the Cosmos or whatever this time and seems to have more to do with the world at large and the Vaal, I would say one the important things is to understand that the Vaal, Queen Atziri and her mirrors are all static and constant in all the chaotic/dyspotian multiverses/timelines supposedly.

The Elder Evil stuff seems less important in PoE2 and our PoE1 Champions are probably still stuck as Champions of the Maven by choice (or not). :P

Thanks for the answers! I'll try and rush it as best as possible.

there is lore but honestly it doesn't make much sense as some of the characters that explained it were removed. Probably just beat the campaign and then maybe read the wiki for the story if your not interested in the gameplay.

KittenCatNoodle on youtube is the best place for lore.
