Path of Exile 3.27 tests the waters on sequel mechanics, but its director tells us he wants to avoid “cutting corners”

Path of Exile 3.27 introduces the seasonal league "Keepers of the Flame," marking the first time Grinding Gear Games has revisited the Breach system from 2016. The league focuses on character attachments evolving into grafts and features a Genesis Tree for item production, with a darker aesthetic. The design aims to balance traditional ARPG combat with innovative concepts while maintaining the simplicity of the Breach system. The development team is also working on two games simultaneously, sharing some elements like the new asynchronous trade system. Path of Exile 3.27 will temporarily remove mercenaries but will bring them back with modifications. New features include bloodlines as secondary ascendancies, quality-of-life improvements, and enhancements like mass identify and quick-swapping orbs. The league launches on October 31 and is available for free on Steam and GGG's standalone launcher.

Diablo 4’s new enemy rework is what will win me back, not Blizzard’s latest loot overhaul

Blizzard has announced Diablo 4 Season 11, featuring patch 2.5.0 for testing on the Public Test Realm (PTR). This update includes significant changes to itemization, referred to as 'Loot 3.0,' and an overhaul of monster combat. Key updates include non-unique items gaining four base affixes, a more predictable tempering process, and a quality system for masterworking that allows for re-rolling affix upgrades. Players can 'sanctify' items at peak potential for powerful boosts. Season 11 will introduce new challenges, including the Lesser Evils and Azmodan as a new world boss. The Tower, a multi-stage timed dungeon, will be added for elite players, with leaderboards for competitive play. Monster encounters will see a significant overhaul, with clearer roles and dynamic behaviors for enemies. Elite encounters will be less frequent but more challenging, with new modifiers introduced. Defensive mechanics are being reworked to enhance survivability, and changes to armor and damage reduction will provide greater control over defensive scaling. The patch 2.5.0 PTR will be available from October 21 to October 28.

Not content with a winning season, Path of Exile 2 just totally transformed the endgame once again

The latest update for Path of Exile 2, called the Third Edict, has overhauled the endgame experience, introducing significant changes such as the mechanics surrounding towers and the use of precursor tablets. Tablets now have a fixed number of uses, allowing up to three modifiers when inserting a new waystone. The number of affixes has been slightly reduced, but their potential values have increased. Citadels spawn 66% more frequently, and every map now requires a boss for completion. The number of monster packs in lower-tier maps has been reduced by one-third, and affixes causing chill, shock, or ignite effects now cover less of the map. Orbs of Alchemy can be applied to magic items, and stash and merchant menus have been upgraded. The patch 0.3.1 is now live, with full patch notes available from Grinding Gear Games.
