Path of Exile originally arrived on PC back in 2013, receiving critical acclaim and taking home GOTY awards in the process. Now though, it’s coming to Xbox One as a free-to-play title.
An online ARPG, Path of Exile will drop onto Xbox One this year, containing all five expansions and any new content that will be hitting PC players later this year. For those that know the game, then that’ll also include the long-awaits Act V. Set in the dark fantasy world of Wraeclast, Path of Exile has been designed around a strong online item economy, deep character customization, and unlimited replayability. It is completely free-to-play and does not sell items or consumables that provide competitive advantage over other players.
“For three years, PC players have enjoyed Path of Exile’s visceral combat, deep character customization and addictive item hunt,” said Chris Wilson, co-founder of Grinding Gear Games. “We have spent over a year adapting Path of Exile specifically to the Xbox One, creating an experience equivalent to playing with mouse and keyboard on PC.”
Key Features of Path of Exile include:
- Download and play for free, but never pay-to-win
- A dark and deep action RPG
- Unlimited character combinations with the game’s gigantic skill tree
- Combine skill gems to create unique combat strategies
- Explore a dark and gritty world rendered from a fixed 3D perspective
- Explore randomly generated levels for nearly infinite replayability
- Craft weapons, magic items, and even end-game maps to become more powerful
- Cooperate or compete with thousands of other Exiles in a persistent online world
- Ascend online ladders in every game mode
We’re looking forward to seeing how Path of Exile translates to the console world and as soon as a confirmed release date is in place, we’ll let you know. For now though, check out the trailer below.
