In Siege of the Atlas, we've removed regional Atlas Passive Trees and introduced one gigantic, Atlas-wide passive tree. With over 600 skills to specialise in, we wanted to share all of the new and returning passives that you'll find on the tree to help you prepare for your adventures through the updated Atlas of Worlds. Check it out the full list of passives on our forum post here, or view the full tree in your browser here.

The Private Leagues for the Siege of the Atlas expansion launch are now available! Those of you who are planning to play in a Private Archnemesis League at launch are now able to create them beforehand. Click here to set up your Private League (don't forget to double check the start time of your league upon creating)! Please note that you won't be able to participate in these events until they officially launch on February 4th (PST).

To celebrate the launch of Siege of the Atlas, we're hosting a Boss Kill Event where Path of Exile players can compete to kill a trio of the hardest endgame bosses in Archnemesis HC SSF mode. We have put together a prize pool that gives the winners the opportunity to collaborate with our design team to create new Unique Items and Divination cards that will be added to Path of Exile.

Prizes are awarded to the first ten players who kill all three of The Maven, The Searing Exarch and The Eater of Worlds. We have not included The Uber Elder as a mandatory boss in this set because there is a moderate RNG component in accessing that fight. Bonus prizes are also awarded to the first players to kill The Uber Elder, The Shaper and Sirus. This event runs during the Archnemesis HC SSF league, starting on January 4 (PST), until each prize has been won.

Prizes for Top Placings - PC:

• 1st Place: Collaborate on the design of a Unique Item that will drop from either The Searing Exarch or The Eater of Worlds, and collaborate on the design of a Divination Card.
• 2nd Place: Collaborate on the design of a Unique Item that will drop from The Maven, and collaborate on the design of a Divination Card.
• 3rd Place: Collaborate on the design of a Unique Item that will drop from either The Black Star or The Infinite Hunger, and collaborate on the design of a Divination Card.
• 4th-10th Place: Collaborate on the design of a Divination Card

Bonus Prizes - PC:

• First Uber Elder Kill: Collaborate on the design of a Unique Item that will drop from The Uber Elder
• First Shaper Kill: Collaborate on the design of a Unique Item that will drop from The Shaper
• First Sirus Kill: Collaborate on the design of a Unique Item that will drop from Sirus, The Awakener

All of the above prize winners will also receive a new microtransaction, Godslayer's Pride (which we'll also be awarding to the best players of events like this in the future.)

Prizes - Console (both Xbox and Playstation have separate prize pools):

• 1st Place: Collaborate on the design of a Divination Card, and receive a Godslayer's Pride microtransaction.
• 2nd-5th Place: Receive a Godslayer's Pride microtransaction.
• First Uber Elder Kill: Receive a Godslayer's Pride microtransaction.
• First Shaper Kill: Receive a Godslayer's Pride microtransaction.
• First Sirus Kill: Receive a Godslayer's Pride microtransaction.

Additional Rules:

• A player can win both a Placing prize and one or more Bonus Prizes.
• If there are operational problems with the event (like significant realm stability issues at launch), Grinding Gear Games may restart the event at any point. The way we will do this is to create a new event league and indicate that players who wish to compete in the new event must make new characters there.
• Players who migrate from a private league to Archnemesis HC SSF during the event are ineligible for prizes.
• Placings and prize eligibility are entirely at the discretion of Grinding Gear Games.
• The prizes that consist of collaborating on the design of a Divination Card or Unique Item do not guarantee that the item will turn out exactly how you want. The design team will try to accommodate your suggestions as best as they can, but the final design is at their discretion. Because these Unique Items are likely to become chase content, it's critical that they fit the overall design vision of Path of Exile.
• While the event being SSF reduces a lot of scope for outside help, any form of account sharing (or other breaches of the Terms of Use) will disqualify a player from receiving prizes.
• Grinding Gear Games Employees (past or present) are not eligible for prizes.
• Players who have played on the Alpha realm since January 27, 2022 (when the expansion was first deployed) are not eligible for prizes.
• Dying or migrating your character out of the league doesn't remove prize eligibility as long as the kill occurred while in the league.

Good luck in the event!

Alongside the livestream reveal of Siege of the Atlas, we also released the full patch notes for the expansion. Today, we wanted to post the updated gem information to give you all the information you need to help plan your builds for the upcoming launch. As usual, the gem data at level 20 with 20% quality for all changed gems are available to view on our forum post here.

We've just started a 50 point sale with a huge assortment of cosmetic microtransactions available for 50 points or less! The sale includes Skill Effects, Pets, Hideout Decorations and many more! Check out the full list of specials here.

In case you need points for this sale, we recommend checking out our new Archnemesis Supporter Packs!

Until the launch of Path of Exile: Siege of the Atlas, we're offering one free Atlantis Mystery Box when you spend any amount of points in the store. This means you can purchase a discounted cosmetic effect or any other microtransaction from the store and receive one Atlantis Mystery Box as a gift from us. The offer is available on both PC and Consoles.

Please note: it's only possible to get one free Atlantis Mystery Box from this promotion. Making additional microtransaction purchases will not grant additional mystery boxes. Purchasing a supporter pack will not grant a free Mystery Box but spending points from a supporter pack can grant a free Mystery Box.

We are excited to announce Path of Exile: Siege of the Atlas in our exclusive livestream on Twitch!

On January 27th at 11AM PST, we'll reveal the full details of our upcoming Siege of the Atlas expansion and Archnemesis challenge league via an exclusive livestream on Twitch. This post contains everything you need to know before the livestream starts.

Before we get started, make sure you check out the teaser videos below!



The livestream will start at 11AM PST on January 27th. If in doubt, check out the countdown on the front page of our website.

We'll start the livestream by revealing the trailer for Path of Exile: Siege of the Atlas, followed by a deep dive into all of the new content and features that are being introduced in the expansion.

Following the reveals, ZiggyD will join Chris Wilson live for a Q&A with questions from Twitch chat. The entire livestream, including the Q&A, will most likely be just over an hour long.

Tune in at http://www.twitch.tv/pathofexile to watch the livestream. We also welcome co-streaming of the announcement so you'll be able to watch the stream alongside your favourite streamers on their channels. Be sure to encourage them to get involved!

Yes, Twitch Drops for the Wasteland Wings will be enabled from the start of the livestream until 8pm PST for all channels streaming Path of Exile during that time.

You will get your Wasteland Wings after 45 minutes of accumulated watch time during this period. This means that the drop is guaranteed for everyone who has watched any Path of Exile stream for this amount of time. This promotion is available for all accounts.

To ensure you don't miss out on the drop, we recommend checking that your Twitch and Path of Exile accounts are linked. For more information on linking your Twitch and Path of Exile accounts, click here.

Our regular announcement page will unlock once information has been revealed on the livestream. Keep an eye on the news forum as well for additional information following the livestream. The announcement will also be available on our YouTube channel following the livestream.

We can't wait to share what we've been working on with you!

The Scourge League ends on PC on Tuesday February 1st at 1pm (PST), so this is your last week to complete any unfinished challenges. On consoles, the Scourge League will end when the Siege of the Atlas expansion goes live for consoles on February 9th (PST).

When Scourge ends, private leagues for Siege of the Atlas will become available shortly after so that you can prepare ahead of time for its launch. The exclusive Scourge Brimmed Hat will also leave the store forever! If you want to show your support for the league, be sure to check it out.


Don't forget to tune into the livestream announcement for the Path of Exile: Siege of the Atlas expansion on January 27th 11AM PST on our Twitch channel. During the announcement, we'll reveal a new set of supporter packs to replace the Expedition Supporter Packs. Be sure to grab your Soulkeeper and Aesir packs here before they are gone forever.

A reminder that Twitch Drops will be enabled for the livestream to earn a set of Wasteland Wings!

In case you missed it, make sure to check out the reveal videos for the upcoming expansion below!



We'll see you at the announcement!

In Path of Exile: Siege of the Atlas, we're making a number of balance changes and have prepared this information for you to preview ahead of our official announcement livestream at the end of this week. The full details of these changes will be available in the patch notes and are still subject to change but this post should outline our perceived problems with current balance and our intentions for their solutions.

In general, we're focusing on two particular archetypes that we feel were the least competitive with other builds during Scourge. These are handcast spell builds and hit-focused bow builds.

For the full details, please head over to the full post on our forums by clicking here.

With the Siege of the Atlas full reveal right around the corner, we wanted to wrap up our recent favourite fan art from the past series by showcasing artwork based on the Echoes of the Atlas expansion! Check out these stunning Maven-inspired pieces below!
