Path of Exile – Siege of Atlas Released for PC

Grinding Gear has announced that the latest expansion to its runaway ARPG hit, Path of Exile has officially launched. Siege of Atlas has arrived for PC while console players will have to wait for Wednesday, February 9th to get in on the action. Players will find new features, new and very challenging bosses, a new endgame item crafting system, the Archnemesis League, and a hot of bug fixes, feature enhancements, and game balance improvements.

Here is the nitty-gritty:

  • Updated Atlas: The end-game Atlas of Worlds has been simultaneously simplified and also made deeper. The region system has been removed, and individual Atlas Passive Trees have been replaced by one gigantic Atlas-wide passive tree which creates a more flexible way for players to engage in the content they like best while also increasing its challenge and reward.
  • Four Pinnacle Bosses: The new storyline is capped with four new Pinnacle Bosses, ultimate boss fights for players seeking additional challenges. These bosses can potentially drop a selection of extremely valuable new unique items.
  • Endgame Item Crafting: Players can master the Eldritch Implicit Modifier system to improve their best items. New currency items allow them to craft powerful new implicit modifiers onto items that enable new build opportunities.
  • Archnemesis League: Players can collect modifiers to use on Petrified Monsters that are encountered throughout Wraeclast in order to create their own mini-boss fights. Each modifier provides a reward and a monster behavior and will stack in subsequent fights to create progressively more dangerous and rewarding encounters. These modifiers can be combined to create recipes for even more challenges and rewards.
  • Game Balance Improvements: Spellcasters and Archers have been targeted with a massive selection of balance buffs so that they are even more competitive with Path of Exile’s best builds.
