Path of Exile: Betrayal release date – all the latest details on PoE’s biggest ever expansion

Grinding Gear Games has revealed its fourth Path of Exile expansion of 2018, and it’s their biggest update to the game ever, Betrayal. Not only are PoE players getting a new Challenge League, GGG is also introducing sweeping changes to some of the game’s oldest and most out of date pieces of content, such as the Forsaken Masters. As ever, you can also expect heaps of small tweaks and additions, such as new skills, player archetypes, unique items, quests, changes to crafting, and new maps to help spruce up endgame content. The new Betrayal Challenge League focuses on a new faction called the Immortal Syndicate, a mysterious organisation who have discovered a way to bring people back from the dead without them being mindless zombies. However, to do this, they have stolen an artifact from a new character, Jun Ortoi, and his Order of the Djinn - naturally, it’s your job to team up with Jun Ortoi, infiltrate the Immortal Syndicate, and retrieving the artifact. While Delve added infinite dungeons as the core mechanic for its Challenge League, Betrayal plays out like a cartel investigation, with players attempting to learn more about the various leaders of the Immortal Syndicate in order to take them down or interrogate them. There are four branches of the Immortal Syndicate to investigate: Fortification, Transportation, Research, and Intervention. You’ll start out your investigation with the identities of all the leaders unknown and work towards learning about each one, their underlings, and their safehouses. Ultimately, your goal is to unmask the mastermind of the cult and defeat them. There will even be some mechanics that are reminiscent of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor’s Nemesis system.
