Path of Exile News

Path of Exile Necropolis will bring some big quality-of-life upgrades

While we await more news on the upcoming Path of Exile 2, set to launch in early access later this year, developer Grinding Gear Games has more immediate news with the imminent next league, Path of Exile Necropolis. Amid the bombastic launch of Last Epoch on Steam and Blizzard's promised major item rework for Diablo 4 Season 4, along with the upcoming Titan Quest 2 and Grim Dawn's Fangs of Asterkarn expansion, it's a busy time to be an ARPG fan, but the Path of Exile 3.24 update shows that the champion of the genre isn't resting on its laurels.

What Will Happen When Affliction League Ends

We're in the final month of the Affliction League and you may be wondering what will happen when the league ends.

Currently we don't have plans on making the Affliction mechanic a part of the core game. Here's what you can expect when the league ends on PC at 2pm on March 26th (PDT):

All of your progress will migrate to the respective parent league of your characters, Affliction League will migrate to Standard League for example.
All of your Tinctures and Charms will be deleted.
Existing Itemised Corpses in Standard will not be deleted, nor are any Spectres from these corpses. However, those Itemised Corpses won't be obtainable in the next league.
Your Wildwood Ascendancies will no longer exist.
Existing Wildwood Rucksacks will become 'remove only' inventories with items in them only removable in towns and hideouts.
All Affliction exclusive uniques will be added to the core drop pool, except for That Which Was Taken.

If you have any Affliction challenges to complete, you still have a couple of weeks to do so.
