Titled "War for the Atlas," the DLC will add new endgame content that tasks players with combating a new threat. If you're unfamiliar with Path of Exile, the "Atlas of Worlds" is a map system that allows players to face new (randomized) challenges once they've completed the main game. That entire system was added in the "Atlas of Worlds" DLC last year, and this year, with "War for the Atlas," players will find new challenges. Two forces, the Shaper and the Elder, are vying for control over the Atlas of Worlds and players will, essentially, be caught in the middle. What this means, as far as in-game content goes, is players will be able to battle for either force and allow that side to control more of the map. If the Elder controls more, he will create new bosses and, eventually, appear on the map as a new boss encounter. It's a pretty interesting idea/concept.

Grinding Gear Games (GGG) is not messing around with Path of Exile's console debut, either: the Xbox One launch will contain all of the game's expansions, including the most recent one (Fall of Oriath). That means a whopping 10 Acts of content, compared to the original 4 Acts in the base game. The game's PC version has been very highly regarded by many ARPG fans and has continuously provided content to its players over the years since its launch. In a blog post by GGG's co-founder, Chris Wilson, he reaffirms that content will continue to be created in the coming months and years.

A new expansion is due out very soon for Path of Exile which will enable you and five friends to explore the story's brand new fourth act.  Titled "The Awakening", it will lead you into the darkest depths of the Highgate Mine, and perhaps even further.  Your foe, who threatens to extinguish life itself throughout Wraeclast, is appropriately dubbed Nightmare.  You, your party, and your insanely complex skill tree are all that can prevent it from accomplishing its goal.

The Awakening continues Path of Exile's storyline by beefing up the world of Wraeclast with new end game maps that extend beyond Highgate. Since you're venturing into unexplored territory, tons of new monsters will assault your every step. The jerks. With more monsters comes more loot, and more loot means more skills. The Awakening adds new gear along with socketable passive trees that let you collect and craft jewels to dramatically change how skills operate. 70 new items and elemental golems to fight by your side round out some of the more noteworthy additions to the fourth act.
