Grind Gear Games has sent word that the highly anticipated Path of Exile expansion, The Fall of Oriath, is slated for release on August 4th. Oriath literally expands the world by doubling its size with six new acts and the new Pantheon character customization system that allows players to continue to progress their characters beyond the level cap. In a sense, folks can literally seize and use the powers of the gods.
- Act 5: The Fall of Oriath: Return to Oriath. Home to the oppressive templar theorcracy. Explore frozen mountaintops, pristine temples and anarchic city streets. Leave a trail of furious destruction as you seek vengeance for your exile.
- A Single Playthrough, A Complete Story: The previous difficulty level system has been removed to make room for another five brand new acts, bringing to the total to ten. In these five acts, you will weave through both new and familiar locations and witness the drastic results of your past actions.
- Claim the Power of the Gods: Path of Exile's new pantheon system provides you with potent powers taken from the gods themselves. But beware, the gods won't go down without a fight.
- New Ways to Play: With dozens of new items, new skills, new locations, new boss fights and more, Path of Exile: The Fall of Oriath will keep even the most die-hard fans busy for many months to come.
To celebrate the August 4th release date, GGG has sent out a brand new trailer sure to please fans and players alike.
