Path of Exile: Trial of the Ancestors Launches Soon

Path of Exile: Trial of the Ancestors launches soon! In this news post, we've gathered all the information you need to know about what happens on launch day and how to start downloading early.

The realm goes down and patching begins at: August 18th, 10AM PDT
The servers go live at: August 18th, 1PM PDT

Please refer to the countdown on our front page if you are unsure. Three hours before the end of the countdown, the realm will go down and patching will begin shortly after. When the countdown ends, the servers will be live and you'll be able to join the Ancestor League!

The patch size for the update will be 7GB on Steam.

This is also your last chance to get Crucible 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 Crucible 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 new Trial of the Ancestors 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!

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 Wraeclast. We'll see you at launch!

We have a reservation for 40 seats outside in the beer garden. A selection of food (including vegetarian and vegan options) and drinks is available for purchase. If we exceed the number of seats, we can fan out to the park which is adjacent to the beer garden.
