Path of Exile: The Awakening (News Coverage)

Due to the vast changes in The Awakening, we will be running a Closed Beta starting on April 20. You'll be able to register your interest and will hopefully be selected to help test it. Because of the expansion's testing needs, we'll be starting out with a smaller Beta population and will expand it to a large one over approximately six weeks. We're not announcing a final release date for The Awakening yet until the exact duration of the Beta is known. After working on it since 2013, we're really excited to finally let you guys play The Awakening!

I am very deeply impressed with how they're handling these 'legendary boss' encounters. I was very skeptical, because there's no way we should be fighting such incredible figures from history.

...But dreams thereof? Well, that's a whole other matter.

Bravo, GGG.

This world is an illusion, exile.

Oh my god, my mind is blown.

Everything looks fantastic. I cannot wait.
