Path of Exile's First Expansion Coming


PathOfExile 2013-10-24 23-20-01-36

Path of Exile is getting ready to launch its first mini-expansion Sacrifice of Vaal next week. The mini-expansion will include a bevy of content, including a high level encounter with Atziri, Queen of the Vaal. Much of the content is layered across the game world rather than focused on the end-game with new secret areas dotting the map, each containing their own special bosses guarding Vaal gems and fragments. New Vaal gemstones gain energy while equipped and can be unleashed for massive attacks, while exiles may corrupt their equipment for a number of benefits at the cost of being unable to mod the item any further.

Two new leagues also find their way in with this update. Ambush leagues feature strongboxes guarded by ambushes, while the hardcore Invasion league dramatically increases the variety of monsters one can encounter, including those from later levels rather early on. Check out the link below for more information on what is coming, and check out the trailer below that to hear a voiceover about sacrifice.
