Path of Exile Announcing New Expansion, Challenge League on August 10th

Path of Exile is currently in the middle of its Incursion Challenge League, but that’s not stopping developer Grinding Gear Games from planning more updates. In a recent forum post, it announced that its next expansion and Challenge League would be revealed next week on August 10th.

The last major expansions for Path of Exile included Fall of Oriath, which brought in numerous new story Acts and bosses to tussle with, and War for the Atlas, a heavy update to the end-game. What could the next expansion hold? We’ll have to wait and find out.

Until then, there will be Incursion Flashback Events taking place from August 4th to August 28th. These events will be available in parallel to the Incursion Challenge League and include rotating modifiers from past Challenge Leagues.

“The possible league mods that you could see in an instance alongside Incursion are Anarchy, Invasion, Breach, Ambush, Torment, Perandus, Beyond, Nemesis, Bloodlines, Abyss and Harbinger.

“As an example, the Dried Lake could have Incursion, Breach, Beyond and Harbinger active for one hour and will then randomise to another assortment like Incursion, Ambush, Perandus, Invasion and then again to Incursion, Ambush, Beyond, Torment and so on,” said Grinding Gear Games’ Natalia in a separate forum post.

Standard, Standard Solo Self-Found, Hardcore and Hardcore Solo Self-Found versions of the event will be available on PC and Xbox One, with microtransactions and Mystery Boxes being offered for free as rewards.
