More Information About the Legacy of Phrecia Event

Since we announced our plans for the Path of Exile 1 event a couple of days ago, we’ve been working on implementing all the ideas we’ve got for new Ascendancies. The event has also received an official name, the Legacy of Phrecia, to commemorate the great Emperor and the inspiration he gave us.

Over the next few days we’ll be showcasing all the Ascendancy classes we came up with, but as a start, take a look at Harbinger (Witch) and Gambler (Duelist). Please note that these are still work in progress and might be adjusted closer to the start of the event.

[h3]Harbinger (Witch)[/h3]
Become a Harbinger, manipulating the bounds of reality itself. The Harbinger specializes in Time Magic as well as summoning Harbinger allies from their homeworld to assist you in combat. As a bonus you also get to fly and be blue.



[h3]Gambler (Duelist)[/h3]
Are you the kind of player who likes to play against the odds? This is the perfect class for risk lovers who want to experience the highest of highs, and potentially the lowest of lows. The Gambler specialises in betting on a high payoff and having lady luck take control.



Given how rapidly we’re putting the Legacy of Phrecia event together, it’s hard to be certain on timelines, but we’ll announce early next week when this event will be running including as many details about it as possible.

Oh, and one more thing. What is this?!




The original Path of Exile has some "unhinged ideas" ahead of 3.26 delay

Grinding Gear Games has confirmed that more Path of Exile content is in the works ahead of the now delayed 3.26 update, as the team has "adjusted some of [its] internal resources" to give players something to do in the meantime. The first PoE's next patch was repeatedly pushed back to give Grinding Gear Games more time to work on the early access launch of Path of Exile 2, so to make up for it there's going to be a brand new event in the first game ahead of 3.26's launch.

Update on Path of Exile 1

[h3]Update on Path of Exile 1[/h3]

We announced last week some unfortunate news regarding the timeline for 3.26.0 for Path of Exile 1. Coming out of that we have adjusted some of our internal resources to be able to provide you with some content to fill the time until that expansion arrives.

To start with we'll be running a one-month event that has some of our whacky ideas that never quite made it off the brainstorm board.

What does Path of Exile 1 look like when the nineteen Ascendancy Classes you know and are familiar with are all of a sudden replaced by a different nineteen? What does Path of Exile 1 look like when you get to play a Witch and ascend to become a Harbinger? These are the questions our design team asked each other and in this event will provide you with some of our answers.

We'll release more details about this content soon but we're really looking forward to seeing how the community reacts to some of our more unhinged ideas.

There's more to announce and we'll keep you updated as we know.

Path of Exile 2 has finally perfected the fantasy archer




When any RPG lets me pick a class, I usually have one main question: Which one of these will let me plink away and do badass fantasy archer stuff like Legolas in the 2002 film The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers? Going back even further to the elven ranger in Warcraft 2, with his sexy hood and iconic blue face paint, this archetype has been a bit of an obsession of mine. I adore the feeling of taking aim, loosing an arrow, and watching some smug bruiser drop instantly from a critical hit. And while many have tried to deliver on this, Path of Exile 2 has finally perfected it...
