Path Of Exile Announces Secrets Of The Atlas Update

Today, during a live stream, Grinding Gear Games revealed Path of Exile’s next update, titled Secrets of the Atlas. In this update, which launches on June 13, tears open in the action RPG's Atlas, leading to other realities. Players must track down the source to fix things.

The new update will introduce a new endgame storyline as well as a new crafting mechanic. There are more bosses to defeat as well. In the endgame storyline, players will meet the mysterious Eagon. He’s found himself in a spot of trouble as he tries to look into his own past. All that he has to go on is a young girl he can see through the rifts, someone he knows as the daughter of the inventor who created the Atlas.

The storyline in this update focuses quite a bit on memory. The tears in the Atlas are threads of memory. A physical substance is found near the tears that Eagon can link to open portals. Players will work with him to explore these portals and find the girl he’s looking for.

At the end of each Thread, players will find new monsters and bosses. Although the bosses may seem familiar in a way, they’re not the ones you’ve seen before.

Of course, the update introduces new characters, gear, items, and more. More details can be found on the Path of Exile site.
