Path of Exile’s ExileCon live stream details have been revealed in a new forum post, detailing when, where, and how long it will be.

In a unique little dive into how game development happens, Path of Exile’s Nick K has broken down the process that went into making one of Blight’s new NPCs, Sister Cassia.

The team behind Path of Exile want players to know exactly what they are working on, and so the team laid out their vision for future expansions in a new blog post on the website.

If you’ve been paying attention to the gaming world at large over the last two years, you’ve already heard of a kerfuffle or two surrounding in-game loot boxes. Well, we can add another to the list with Path of Exile but this one has a unique slant and some players feel an internet mob may have stole a useful new feature out from under them.

Path of Exile’s newest expansion, Blight, released today on PC, with the Xbox and PS4 versions to release on September 9.

Path of Exile is gearing up for its upcoming Blight League release. In the meantime, the team has showcased new Assassin attacks and Mine Skills coming to the game.

Path of Exile players are priming their gear and getting ready to take off for the next league that arrives later today. The Legion content expansion launches today for PC players and on June 10th for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One players. As always, there is new gear to chase and new gameplay systems to explore. In addition, and perhaps most notably, melee combat has been reworked and two new character archetypes have been added.

With the upcoming release of the Legion content expansion to Path of Exile, Grinding Gear is providing players with a forward look at some balance changes being made. Most notably, balance tweaks are being applied to melee combat across an array of areas. These include early-game combat, the ability to strike multiple targets, skill rebalancing, support gems including new ones, passive tree changes, accuracy, weapon base types, weapon / jewel damage, & general combat changes.

When Path of Exile v3.7.0 launches later this year, players will find a revamped melee system. This follows the heavy rebalance of Spellcasting in the Synthesis update that launched last month. “While we certainly do intend to numerically adjust them to make sure they’re viable, the actual scope of Melee changes planned is a lot larger than we have indicated so far,” the post on the official site reads.

Launch day has finally arrived for Path of Exile on PlayStation 4. It’s been a long time coming, but today’s a big day with the launch of Grinding Gear Games’ critically acclaimed ARPG. The best part? It’s free to download and play and it includes all of the content that has been released, including the Synthesis expansion that launched for PC earlier this month.
