While many players of Path of Exile are understandably eager for the next expansion that’s arriving in September, there’s something else happening that month: an arrival to the Epic Games Store.
This news simply offers the multiplayer ARPG another avenue for players to get in to the game and will not have any sort of effect on the standalone client or the Steam version of the game. It ultimately boils down to giving players choices and possibly expanding the game’s community as it heads towards its next bit of new large-scale content.
Speaking of which, consider this a friendly reminder that the reveal for this new expansion is coming tomorrow on September 1st. And by that time, there will possibly be folks from EGS joining in on the fun.
