Legacy of Phrecia Twitch Highlights

The ongoing Legacy of Phrecia event for Path of Exile 1 has had a lot of exciting moments caught on camera, and we've gathered up some of the recent highlights to share with you. Check them out in today's news post on the Path of Exile website here!

The Legacy of Phrecia event ends on April 23rd (PDT), so there's still plenty of time to jump in and earn the Autumn Knight Armour Set while experiencing the 19 alternate ascendancies and the Idol endgame system.

Path of Exile 2 speedrunner dominates official race with the game's 'worst' class

Path of Exile 2 has been out in early access since December, and now that the initial hype has died down we're all in kind of a waiting room until they add more content.

The Legacy of Phrecia is Extended - Tentative Timeline for 3.26 Expansion

The Legacy of Phrecia event in Path of Exile 1 is in full swing! Due to its popularity within the community we are extending the event by a month until April 23rd PDT.

If you feel this extra month will not be enough to try out the builds you wanted, you’ll be able to further experiment with the Phrecia content with a set of Private League templates that we'll be making available at no cost!

After the end of the event on April 23rd, we’ll be adding a list of these Private League templates which will be available for a month. Each Private League template will have a limit of 20,000 player slots and you will be able to create as many as you want while they’re available. We’ll reveal more details as well as the full list of Private League templates in a few weeks.

We would also like to share a tentative timeline for the 3.26 expansion. We are looking to launch the expansion in June, so you might expect us to begin talking about it some time after the end of Legacy of Phrecia. We have solid plans for 3.26 and we’re sure you’ll love it. Stay tuned!

Path of Exile 1 is suddenly beating PoE 2 on Steam as GGG transforms the endgame

It's a great strategy from Grinding Gear Games, keeping both Path of Exile and Path of Exile 2 alive and fresh at the same time. If you love the original ARPG and don't want to jump ship for the sequel, that's fine. If you want to throw all your weight behind the new PoE, that's fine, too - you can even play both. Originally, Path of Exile 1 was scheduled to go quiet for a while so GGG could focus on PoE 2. But the opposite has happened. Thanks to an emergency, 'experimental' event, Legacy of Phrecia, Path of Exile 1 has just overtaken its younger sibling on Steam.
