Free to play action RPG Path of Exile will have a new league called “Delve” going live today at 1 PM PST. Along with the update bringing new items and weapons, it will introduce the first endless dungeon to the game. Delve will be available in both Standard and Hardcore Leagues.
The “story” behind the new league takes players into the Azurite Mine, courtesy of Niko the Mad. Using a Crawler that keeps the harmful darkness at bay, players will venture into the mine and fight off numerous enemies. Bosses and different biomes await, while you can also use items like dynamite and flares to travel off the beaten path for a short time.
As players progress, the Crawler can be upgraded with different items to make future excavations easier. How far players can progress will ultimately depend on their builds due to the infinitely scaling nature of the dungeon. With 40 new challenges and new rewards to earn upon their completion, there’s plenty of reason to hop back into Path of Exile. The Delve league will go live on both Xbox One and PC.
