Saturdays are made for dads.
Everyone knows Saturdays are made for dads, and also battle royale. Path of Exile: Royale launched as an April Fool’s Day joke in 2018 and like many jokes in this industry it inexplicably became a lot more popular than developer Grinding Gear Games ever anticipated. So to placate players clamoring for its return, GGG announced that PoE: Royale is not only coming back, it is back. Right now.
Royale will be available this weekend and every weekend for the patch 3.15 cycle. After that? Who knows.
Royale is available from now until 11:59pm PDT on Sunday for PC players. After this weekend, it will be available every weekend except launch weekend for the entirety of the 3.15 expansion cycle. Unfortunately, we are not bringing Royale to console at this stage. Even with the higher player populations on PC, it may still take some time for new Royale games to trigger at certain times of day in certain regions, and these issues will be significantly exacerbated on the smaller console realms. We’ll see how it goes.
