The ExileCon site has finally debuted that provides Path of Exile fans with lots of information for the first-even fan convention. ExileCon will take place on November 16-17 in Auckland, New Zealand and the event will be packed with news of the December expansion and, most notably, the “mega-expansion (4.0.0). Fans will also be able to take part in developer talks, play unreleased content, check out some tournament play, party with other fans and much more.

PlayStation 4 fans rejoice! Grinding Gear has finally announced the Path of Exile PS4 release date. You can look for PoE in the PlayStation Store starting March 26th. The game will come with all expansions including the most recent “Synthesis” league.

Later this week, Path of Exile fans will be able to purchase tickets for the first-ever “ExileCon” to be held in New Zealand in November. Ticket sales will begin on Wednesday, March 13th at 1:00 pm Pacific / 4:00 pm Eastern. ExileCon will feature a number of cool activities including developer panels, learning about the December expansion and hear the first news about v4.0.0, PoE’s upcoming “mega expansion”.

The first Path of Exile expansion of 2019 is getting ready to roll out today. Synthesis meet a mysterious character named Cavas to help him recapture his memories. Once memories are collected, they can be attached to one another to create a custom dungeon experience. Players will find “valuable rewards, new crafting opportunities and deadly boss fights” within.

The Path of Exile team may still be languishing in the holiday doldrums a bit, but they’re not going to leave the community bereft of fun things to see. In a new article on the game’s site, Grinding Gear provides trailers from the era spanning 2015-2016 and the expansions from The Awakening to The Breach. If you’re a fan of the game and love to see how it’s progressed over the years, this is definitely a must-see!

It’s been nearly eight years since Path of Exile went into closed beta testing. Since the week is slow due to the holidays, Grinding Gear devs have put up a cool article that is very much a walk down Memory Lane. In a series of videos with developer commentary, viewers can get a look at the game along various points in its development starting with a gameplay clip that shows combat during 2011’s closed beta test.

Grinding Gear has announced that Path of Exile for PC will be updated later today to bring the Betrayal content expansion on board. The XBox One launch of Betrayal is slated for Monday, December 10th. Betrayal brings a number of new features and activities for players to take part in including Raid Syndicate Safehouses, new skills, new items and much more.

The Path of Exile site has been updated with a new Development Manifesto that lays out a number of changes coming to the game to address balance issues and gameplay limitations. The post provides readers with a broad look at incoming changes in the Betrayal content expansion across a number of features including Stat Sticks, Energy Shield Recharge, Cap on Slowing Effects, Unique Rebalance, and Archetypes.

The Path of Exile team has posted that the release of the PlayStation 4 version of the game is being delayed. The team had originally targeted a December released, but the timeline has changed. PoE for PS4 will now be available in February 2019, though it’s still possible it may arrive in January instead. Devs indicated that they underestimated the amount of time it would take “to finish the certification process during the busy Christmas period”, hence the delay.

The Path of Exile Twitter has been updated with a notification to players that the game servers are currently undergoing a DDoS attack. The notification was made early yesterday afternoon and while the tweet says that the issue would be resolved “soon”, no update from the dev team has been posted.
