In a press release statement, Grinding Gear Games has announced that Path of Exile is ready to receive its third act.
Taking place in the ruined capital of the Eternal Empire, Sarn, the third act will pit players against those who exiled them to Wraeclast, General Gravicius and the Ebony Legion. According to producer Chris Wilson, the third act “adds an extra 50% of content to Path of Exile’s world”.
“You’re standing at the edge of Sarn, the ruined capital of the Eternal Empire. Not so eternal now. Its citizenry is gone, taken by death and undeath in equal measures. Where hawkers shouted their bargains, ladies browsed for silks, young lovers walked hand in hand… creatures of nightmare stalk and feed. Beasts born of corruption. The restless dead, bitter and lethal. A cursed city of painful promises and preternatural peril,” reads the Grinding Gear Games press.
“You are an exile, banished for your crimes to Wraeclast, and given a life sentence in the land of the damned. But Wraeclast wasn’t always like this. It was once an empire of ten million souls, a beautiful and bountiful continent that prospered for more than a thousand years.
Something happened. A cataclysm. A corruption beyond reason. Wraeclast took itself off to bed one balmy evening and, come morning, it failed to wake. It slumbers, tossing and turning in the perpetual nightmare that enslaved it during the darkest hours.
Players must fight their way through the necropolis to answer a question: Who murdered Wraeclast?
You’re not alone in your curiosity. Others explore the twisted capital city of the Eternal Empire. The Ebony Legion has sailed from Oriath to scour Sarn for its secrets… avaricious maggots on a fecund carcass. General Gravicius plunders its tombs for wealth and power.
Piety of Theopolis harnesses corruption like a lover to her bedhead. Her lovely visage hides an imagination most monstrous.
Is everyone and everything in Sarn out to kill or maim you beyond recognition? Pretty much… with a few exceptions. As a fellow exile, Hargan, will tell you: “Welcome to dirty, old Sarn, the metropolis of opportunity. The opportunity to make something of yourself or the opportunity to have a very messy death.”
