Followup to my previous tweet here and my Reddit post here.
We were 100% sure it was Revenge League. The next day we were 200% sure it was Overload League. Today it's 300! Our guesses will blot out the sun!
Bex tweeted the following yesterday:
Players decided the Path of Exile expansion names I’ve been hiding in tweets were red herrings. Perfect. This has brought me much fun. The real expansion name is actually among them.
GGG also shared a teaser image yesterday in their 3.7 announcement timeline post. Credit to /u/FelixTreasurebuns for brightening the image here.
Here's the thing: She hasn't been "hiding" anything in her tweets. The league names have all been explicitly stated with no obfuscation at all. Right? Wrong!
It turns out that there is one name on the metal bands list that was spelled out by Bex, but not in one of her main tweets. In this tweet on May 7, Bex was engaging with the comments section when she dropped some very interesting information:
Fun fact: Tempest was originally called Eclipse
This is much closer to a "hidden" tweet. We're 4 comments deep on one of the first days that she posted any hints about the new league.
"But ShakCentral: What about the teaser image?"
Oh, you mean the dark image that shows a group of people running in the darkness toward a clearly circular and increasingly dark center? That image?
Path of Exile: Eclipse League confirmed. Have a great day.
