David Brevik becomes Path of Exile advisor

While some people were clinging to rumors that David Brevik was returning to the Diablo franchise that originally made him famous, the truth is that the man and his magnificent beard have made the journey to a different ARPG altogether: Path of Exile. His main task, it seems, is to assist with the upcoming launch of the game in China.

“Yes, David is an advisor for our Chinese Path of Exile launch. He’s working with us and Tencent,” confirmed Grinding Gear Games Lead Developer Chris Wilson on Reddit.

This news puts in context a somewhat cryptic tweet that Brevik sent out a few days ago: “For 20 years, Diablo-like games have evolved & surprised us. I’m proud to be the adviser for the game that pushes this genre to new heights.”
