Path of Exile: Open-Beta in der nächsten Woche

In der nächsten Woche, genauer gesagt am 23.01.2013, startet bekanntlich die Open-Beta-Phase von Path of Exile. Interessierte Spieler können sich dann das Hack&Slay anschauen und erstmals in den dritten Akt der Story vorstoßen. Passend dazu haben die Entwickler einen neuen Trailer veröffentlicht.

Darüber hinaus hat Grinding Gear Games bekannt gegeben, dass im Verlauf der geschlossenen Beta-Phase über 1,8 Mio. Dollar via Schwarmfinanzierung eingesammelt wurden.

Chris Wilson (Producer bei Grinding Gear Games): "We're excited to have reached the point where we can finally throw open the doors and invite everyone in (...) We have one of the best and most supportive communities on the Internet, and their input has been invaluable in making Path of Exile what it is. We hope they'll be delighted with all the new content."

"Path of Exile is an online Action RPG set in the dark fantasy world of Wraeclast. We're a small independent team of hardcore gamers based in New Zealand and have created Path of Exile as the game that we'd want to play ourselves. It is designed around a strong barter-based online item economy, deep character customisation, competitive PvP and ladder races. The game is completely free and will never be "pay to win". Path of Exile is currently in Closed Beta and will enter Open Beta on January 23, 2013."
