[h2]What time does it start?[/h2]
The livestream will start at 11AM PST on January 27th. If in doubt, check out the countdown on the front page of our website.

[h2]What can I expect?[/h2]
We'll start the livestream by revealing the trailer for Path of Exile: Siege of the Atlas, followed by a deep dive into all of the new content and features that are being introduced in the expansion.

Following the reveals, ZiggyD will join Chris Wilson live for a Q&A with questions from Twitch chat. The entire livestream, including the Q&A, will most likely be just over an hour long.

[h2]Where can I watch?[/h2]
Tune in at www.twitch.tv/pathofexile to watch the livestream. We also welcome co-streaming of the announcement so you'll be able to watch the stream alongside your favourite streamers on their channels. Be sure to encourage them to get involved!

[h2]Will Twitch Drops be enabled?[/h2]
Yes, Twitch Drops for the Wasteland Wings will be enabled from the start of the livestream until 8pm PST for all channels streaming Path of Exile during that time.

You will get your Wasteland Wings after 45 minutes of accumulated watch time during this period. This means that the drop is guaranteed for everyone who has watched any Path of Exile stream for this amount of time. This promotion is available for all accounts.

To ensure you don't miss out on the drop, we recommend checking that your Twitch and Path of Exile accounts are linked. For more information on linking your Twitch and Path of Exile accounts, click here.

[h2]Where can I view the reveals if I miss the livestream?[/h2]

[h2]See you there! [/h2]
We can't wait to share what we've been working on with you!

The Scourge League ends on PC on Tuesday February 1st at 1pm (PST), so this is your last week to complete any unfinished challenges. On consoles, the Scourge League will end when the Siege of the Atlas expansion goes live for consoles on February 9th (PST).

When Scourge ends, private leagues for Siege of the Atlas will become available shortly after so that you can prepare ahead of time for its launch. The exclusive Scourge Brimmed Hat will also leave the store forever! If you want to show your support for the league, be sure to check it out.

Don't forget to tune into the livestream announcement for the Path of Exile: Siege of the Atlas expansion on January 27th 11AM PST on our Twitch channel. During the announcement, we'll reveal a new set of supporter packs to replace the Expedition Supporter Packs. Be sure to grab your Soulkeeper and Aesir packs here before they are gone forever.

A reminder that Twitch Drops will be enabled for the livestream to earn a set of Wasteland Wings!

We'll see you at the announcement!

In Path of Exile: Siege of the Atlas, we're making a number of balance changes and have prepared this information for you to preview ahead of our official announcement livestream at the end of this week. The full details of these changes will be available in the patch notes and are still subject to change but this post should outline our perceived problems with current balance and our intentions for their solutions.

In general, we're focusing on two particular archetypes that we feel were the least competitive with other builds during Scourge. These are handcast spell builds and hit-focused bow builds.

With the Siege of the Atlas full reveal right around the corner, we wanted to wrap up our recent favourite fan art from the past series by showcasing artwork based on the Echoes of the Atlas expansion! Check out these stunning Maven-inspired pieces below!
