Path of Exile offers animated teasers for Fall of Oriath

Video games are usually a pretty visual medium, especially these days, interactive fiction and Dwarf Fortress notwithstanding. It’s why we all like screenshots. But even better than a screenshot is a nice animated picture showing you exactly what to expect, right? Path of Exile is hoping so, as the game has released three teaser animations showing off upcoming content coming with the Fall of Oriath expansion.

The renewed Wetlands and the Reliquary are both on display here, complete with a bit of wildlife animation in the former. There’s also a brief clip of the boss fight against Shavronne and Brutus, for which you can supply your own electrical pun. (It’s not as much fun when you can’t make constant puns about it through an entire post.) If a picture is worth a thousand words, animated ones must be worth at least a couple thousand, right?
