Path of Exile: Siege of the Atlas is out in full force but we wanted to highlight some of our favourite Path of Exile-themed cosplay reveals that we saw in preparation for its release! Check them out in today's news post on our forum by clicking here!

Over the weekend, we launched Path of Exile: Siege of the Atlas. We're pleased to report that deployment was extremely smooth with no major issues! We also hit a new record for peak concurrent players at 270,260! We are closely monitoring feedback and reports and will keep you updated this week as we start to formulate lists of coming improvements.

The Boss Kill Event is well underway, with many of the top prizes already taken. The following players have already managed to defeat The Maven, The Searing Exarch and The Eater of Worlds in the Hardcore Solo Self-found Archnemesis League:

• #1 Darkee
  
• #2 Steelmage
  
• #3 Dsfarblarwaggle
  
• #4 Karvarousku
  
• #5 Fiskrens
  
• #6 Dslily
  
• #7 xtrmspd
  
• #8-#10 are still up for grabs!

Congratulations to all of the winners so far with a special shout-out to Darkee who has taken home a number of bonus prizes from this event also. We'll announce the full results later this week once the event has concluded.

Over the weekend, we also released the new Gem Stash Tab and Flask Stash Tab as well as the Harmony Mystery Box. Get yours here or check out the trailer below.


In just a few days, we'll also be launching Siege of the Atlas on Xbox and PlayStation.

Thanks so much to everyone who joined us for launch!

Embrace the Void or protect the Atlas with the new Harmony Mystery Box! Inspired by the story of Zana and the Shaper, the Harmony Mystery Box contains 38 new cosmetic effects, some of which can be used to create a special combined version for even deeper character customisation. Check out the full trailer below to see what's available or get yours by pressing M in-game to access the store!

Path of Exile: Siege of the Atlas and the Archnemesis League launch soon! In this news post, we've gathered all the information you need to know about what happens on launch day.

The realm goes down and patching begins at: 8am February 4th PST
The servers go live at: 11am February 4th PST

The patch size for the update will be around 5.7GB on Steam.

If you're looking for some extra character slots for the launch, we're running a sale on these right now! This is also your last chance to get Atlantis Mystery Boxes! It will leave the store when our next Mystery Box becomes available! Keep in mind that if you haven't taken advantage of it yet, it's still possible to get one free Atlantis Mystery Box when you spend any amount of points in the store. NOTE: this is only possible once per account. Additional purchases do not grant additional mystery boxes. If you need some extra points, we recommend checking out the Archnemesis and Core Supporter Packs.

In case you still haven't decided which build to play with, check out the Class subsections on the forum for suggestions from the community. Many of our community streamers are also providing build guides on YouTube!

For those of you wanting to compete in the upcoming expansion, we are holding a Boss Kill Event where players will race to be the first to kill The Maven, The Searing Exarch and The Eater of Worlds! We have exciting prizes lined up for the winners. Find out more in this news post.

If you want a new look to match your build, check out the Nexus stores of your favourite creators for their curated selection of Armour Sets to support them as well as the development of Path of Exile!

We can't wait to see your latest adventures through Atlas of Worlds. We'll see you at launch!

In preparation for the Path of Exile: Siege of the Atlas expansion, we've gathered up all the Item Filter information you need to help you get ready for the launch.

If you're not sure what to do with this information, don't worry too much! We'll update Path of Exile's built-in item filter alongside the launch of Siege of the Atlas.

In addition to the item filter information below, we also wanted to let you know that in this patch, there have been changes to the names of the Expedition currencies. The new order of Kalguuran Artifacts is as follows: Lesser, Greater, Grand, Exceptional. This change was made to keep naming conventions consistent across currency types.

• Synthesised Maps can now be filtered for with the Base Item "Synthesised Map"
  
• Fixed a bug where some Item Filter matching operators are backwards when used with count number
  
• "Prophecy" has been removed as a filter condition.

In the Archnemesis League, you'll be able to earn exclusive microtransactions by completing 40 new challenges. At 12, 24, 32, 34, 36, and 38 challenges, you'll earn the Archnemesis Cold Character Effect, Archnemesis Weapon Skin, Archnemesis Lightning Character Effect, Archnemesis Fire Character Effect, Archnemesis Wings and Archnemesis Prismatic Character Effect respectively. Completing challenges also grants you pieces of the Archnemesis Totem Pole Hideout decoration!



You'll be able to check out the full list of challenges you need to complete for these rewards when Path of Exile: Siege of the Atlas launches for PC on February 4th PST.

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.
