Considering how dark and brooding Path of Exile is, you have to imagine that the developers had to come up with a shade blacker than black to help deck out an underworld catacombs set in this universe.
But hey, you can find out for yourself! Path of Exile: Necropolis went live last night with a whole lot of content that’ll make you say, “Path of Exile 2 what now?”
As MOP’s MJ previewed in detail, the expansion kicks off the Necropolis Challenge League, makes a bunch of changes to the endgame format, adds the highly challenging tier 17 maps, branches out into additional Atlas passive skill trees, and lets you examine wandering spirits with a special magical lantern. Oh, and you’ll be doing some undertaking yourself: “Take the corpses of haunted monsters to the Necropolis, bury them in one of the many graves in the cemetery and exorcise them to forge items from their souls.”
