Path of Exile News

Over the Christmas weekend we started the Atlas Invasion event and we're very happy to see that our community is having so much fun in it. The Atlas Invasion ends at Noon January 3rd (PST), so you still have time to join the event before it ends. In the meantime, we've gathered some Twitch highlights, captured by our players so far.

Our community is full of so much creativity that we wanted to share some great Hideout designs that we've spotted in our Hideout Showcase forum! Check out the video below!

Merry Christmas and happy holidays, Exiles! As is tradition, we're offering everyone a free Atlantis Mystery Box!

To redeem a free Atlantis Mystery Box all you need to do is to open the in-game shop! The Mystery Box will be automatically added to your account, you'll find it in your Microtransaction Stash. Please note that visiting the shop on the website does not trigger the free box - it must be accessed from inside the game client.

To receive a free Atlantis Mystery Box, your account has to have been created prior to today. It's only possible to get one box per account.

The free mystery box will stop being available at 3am on January 8th (PST). Check out the contents of the Atlantis Mystery Box in the trailer below.

We hope you're having a great holiday!

In the upcoming Atlas Invasion event every area in Path of Exile will be invaded by 5 endgame map bosses! The event starts at Noon December 24th PST and will be running for 10 days. For more information about the prizing check out this announcement or have a look at our event calendar.

We've seen a few people asking whether or not Scourge is an included mechanic in the Atlas Invasion and Delirium Everywhere events. We just wanted to take a moment to clarify that it isn't enabled for those events but you can continue to play in the Scourge League which runs parallel to them.

Twitch Drops will be running for the first day of the Atlas Invasion event. This time you'll be able to receive the Malachai Portal Effect after 2 hours of accumulated watch time on any channel streaming Path of Exile on Twitch during the first day of this event.

If you'd like your Exile to face the horrors of the Atlas in a fancy outfit, this weekend we're hosting a sale on a huge assortment of popular Path of Exile microtransactions, including Celestial, Twilight, Glimmerwood, Angels and Demons and other cosmetic effects. In case you need extra points for this sale, check out the new Core Supporter Packs which were released earlier this week.

Have a great weekend everyone! Come back tomorrow to unwrap your holiday Mystery Box!
