We've just introduced two new microtransactions to the store. The Maraketh Portal is designed in yellow and black colours and is decorated with a swirling symbol of the Order of Djinn. The Malice Wings are made of black moving roots which make them a great addition to any gloom-themed outfit. Check out their videos below or press M in game to get yours.



This weekend we're running a sale on a huge selection of weapon skins, weapon effects and shields with almost 150 cosmetic effects available at discounted prices. Please note that this sale excludes some of the weapon and shield microtransactions introduced since the launch of the Conquerors of the Atlas expansion.

It's been two months since ExileCon, which became one of the most memorable events of 2019 for us (hopefully for you too!). We've finally managed to go through a massive amount of footage recorded at the convention, and have montaged it into a short video with highlights from the ExileCon weekend. We hope you enjoy it!



Check out our ExileCon playlist if you're interested in watching presentations given by our developers at the convention. We'll release the rest of the talks over the coming weeks.

We're finishing the week with a talk by our senior visual effects artist, Ivan Leong. In his ExileCon presentation Ivan not only explained the role of VFX artists at GGG, but has also demonstrated creating an asset for the Crusader fight live on stage. If you're an aspiring VFX artist looking for inspiration or just want to learn something new today - check out the video below!

In addition to a big 3.9.2 patch, which was deployed last week, the team has been working on another update with many improvements and fixes. We're planning to release it by the end of this working week on PC, and as soon as possible on consoles (after its release on PC).
