Path of Exile News

The holiday period continues, so we don't have any development news to share today (though we're keen to give you an update regarding our current work and to deploy a major patch as soon as possible!). It's also the end of a year and we're preparing a traditional summary of our annual achievements which we'll publish tomorrow. While you're getting ready to celebrate New Year's Eve, why not take a moment to remember 2019 in Path of Exile with us by watching the video below?

Thank you for being part of this amazing year with us! See you next year, Exiles!

We always enjoy showcasing the artwork of our team in a form of concept art. Today we've selected several images of the cosmetic effects introduced in our recent Polaris Mystery Box.

As you know, this November we hosted ExileCon, our very first Path of Exile convention, where we announced Path of Exile 2, our recent Conquerors of the Atlas expansion and the experimental Mobile project. In addition, over the ExileCon weekend some of our developers gave various presentations where they shared their experience in different areas of game development. We'll be publishing these talks in our news in the upcoming weeks. Today we're starting with a presentation about world building for Path of Exile 2 from our art director and one of the GGG founders, Erik Olofsson. In this video Erik explains our approach to creating the atmosphere, areas, characters and items of Path of Exile 2, and then answers some questions from ExileCon attendees. Watch the video below:

On behalf of everyone at Grinding Gear Games, we'd like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and happy holidays! As is tradition, we've prepared a gift! To celebrate the conclusion of another great development year, we're offering everyone a free Polaris Mystery Box.

To redeem a free Polaris Mystery Box all you need to do is to open the in-game shop! The Mystery Box will be automatically added to your account. 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 Polaris 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).

We hope you're having a great holiday!

It's Christmas day in New Zealand and we want to take a moment to wish Happy Holidays to the entire Path of Exile community! Whether you're already enjoying your vacation or still busy with finishing your last tasks at work, we hope you'll have a wonderful day.

Don't forget to come back tomorrow for your annual free Mystery Box!
