The Delirium Everywhere Event Starts Soon

Delirium has spread throughout every area of Wraeclast in the upcoming Delirium Everywhere event! The event starts at Noon December 31st PST and will be running for 10 days. For more information about the event or for details on prizing, check out this announcement or have a look at our event calendar.

As a reminder, the Scourge mechanic will not be enabled during this event.

Don't forget, Twitch Drops will be active during the first day of the Delirium Everywhere event. This time, you'll be able to receive the Divine Demon King Portal Effect after 2 hours of accumulated watch time on any channel streaming Path of Exile on Twitch.

If you're after some extra space for all of your items, we are running a sale on Stash Tabs all weekend! Check out the full selection by pressing "M" in game. In case you need extra points for this sale, check out the new Core Supporter Packs which were released last week.

If you haven't already, make sure you get your free holiday Mystery Box by pressing "M" in game, which will automatically put the box in your microtransaction inventory!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Next Expansion Timeline

As we close out 2021, we wanted to give you an idea of what to expect at the beginning of 2022 with Path of Exile's next big expansion. We're currently expecting to launch the 3.17 expansion in early February. This means that the Scourge League will be extended by at least two weeks. As per usual, our livestream announcement will take place about one week prior to the expansion's launch. We'll make sure there are some juicy Twitch Drops for viewers, of course.

We will confirm the exact dates as soon as we can but we do know that there's at least a two-week delay from our usual schedule so far. We want to give our staff the freedom and flexibility to take time off over the New Zealand summer holidays and recharge for the year ahead. Once our team resumes, we'll start to nail down the exact dates and will let you know.

Some players have been asking when we expect to start early testing for the experimental mode temporarily known as "Hard Mode". We had mentioned in the past that we were going to start some testing before 3.17 launches, but as we have been prioritising 3.17's development, it's now slated for sometime after 3.17's launch.

If you're looking for something to play alongside Scourge in the meantime, the Atlas Invasion event is still running for a few more days. We also have the Delirium Everywhere Event starting this weekend! Twitch Drops will be enabled for the first day and there are many awesome prizes up for grabs. For more information about these events, check out the full event post here. Of course, there's also plenty of time left in the Scourge League to jump in and earn your challenge rewards!

If you want to look fancy over the holiday period, please check out our new Core Supporter Packs we released recently by pressing "M" in game!

Thanks so much for your support. We look forward to sharing what's next for Path of Exile early next year!

Atlas Invasion Highlights

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.
