There are two pairs of Archnemesis Supporter Packs available in the store; the Wyrm Supporter Pack and the Emberkeep Supporter Pack.

Hi Community Team!

I joined Path of Exile 10 years ago just before open beta was released, after some of my friends told me several times that the game was excellent and a perfect alternative to Diablo 3 which we were playing at the time. I’ve always been a fan of RPG’s and also MMORPG’s, having played a lot of Guild Wars and World of Warcraft. Our guild wanted something that could let us play together like the old times. That is where Path of Exile comes into play.

I do remember the good old days when act 3 was just released, trying to defeat Piety for the first time, farming docks and having a character where level 75 was a high level. Those moments have a special place in my memories and that... Read more

Last week we posted an {LINK REMOVED}approximate timeline for our upcoming 3.19 expansion. We've reviewed it since then and would like to give you an updated timeline.

Our August expansion is more likely to launch on August 19th PDT, consuming the week of buffer we mentioned in that announcement post. This means that you can expect the announcement livestream around August 11th PDT and Sentinel League's end date would be around August 16th PDT.

We'll post the confirmed release date very soon. Keep an eye on the news!

Zizaran's Gauntlet Event started last weekend and players were explosive out the gates! Today, we've compiled a few highlights on Twitch for you to enjoy! Check out the clips on our forum {LINK REMOVED}here!

With the Sentinel League ending soon, you may be wondering whether this mechanic becomes a part of Path of Exile's core game.

The answer is no, for now. The league would take some changes before it would be appropriate to become a core Path of Exile mechanic, and while this is something we're interested in looking into in the future, it's not the time now.

When the Sentinel League ends in a few weeks, all of your existing Power Cores and Sentinels will be deleted.

Recombinators won't drop anymore, but the existing ones will continue to work in Standard and will become progressively more scarce as they are consumed. We know that you really enjoyed the crafting options provided by Recombinators, and we are looking for a way to bring them back in the future. If and when we do so, existing Recombinators will likely change their function to work however the new ones function. We'll signal this in the news beforehand so that you can make sure to consume existing on... Read more

As the ongoing Sentinel League progresses, we wanted to shed some light on our next expansion's release date.

The 3.19 expansion will probably launch on August 13th PDT, which means that the Sentinel League will end on approximately the 9th of August PDT. We'll confirm Sentinel's end date later in the news as we get closer to it. As usual, we'll unveil the details of the expansion a week before the launch during a livestream. Please note that the above dates are just our current plan, and we may have to change them if development runs into any issues (if so, it'd likely just be back one week).

As we have said earlier, the 3.19 expansion, as well as all future expansions in the leadup to Path of Exile 2, will contain further improvements to Path of Exile's endgame. And of course, you can expect a new challenge league and lots of other content and balance changes which will be revealed in the livestream. The scope of this expansion is bigger than Sentinel and we're very... Read more

We took a moment to chat with Nick from our community team about his work with Grinding Gear Games. Check it out below!

Hey Nick, thanks for taking part in the interview! Please introduce yourself.

Hi! I'm Nick and I've been with the Community Team for a little over a year now. I joined the team just after the launch of the Ritual League. I've been playing Path of Exile on and off since Anarchy League (softcore Andy reporting in!)

Could you please tell us about your current role at Grinding Gear Games and what an average work day is like for you?

My current role covers a huge range of things from looking for feedback or issues with the game, preparing and posting the daily news posts and sometimes helping out with filming gameplay for microtransactions. If you see a Community_Team post on Reddit, that most likely would've been me! Almost every day is different, which is awesome for variety!
