The ‘game-changer’ expansion for MMO Path of Exile launches today and with it comes more story with Act IV, as players can now ”venture into the center of corruption itself” and ask nicely if it’d stop being such a jerk.
This expansion touches on practically everything, and that includes all-new gear, new skill gems, a socketable passive tree, big improvements to the UI, and of course whole new areas and monsters to slay.
”…more than just Path of Exile’s fourth act - it improves and expands upon every aspect of the game. With a crazy new twist on the iconic Passive Skill Tree and numerous systems changes, this expansion has been internally dubbed Path of Exile Version 2.0.0. The Awakening completely changes the Path of Exile experience and includes new items, monsters, maps, skills, and many quality of life improvements suggested by the Path of Exile community.”
Path of Exile: The Awakening launches on PC today.
