Grinding Gear Games revealed Path of Exile's latest expansion expedition in its live broadcast on Thursday. Co-founder Chris Wilson announced a series of changes to the game, including nearly 20 skills and POE Currency, potion rework, new items, Path of Exile: Return of the Royal, and more. Grinding Gear Games will launch Path of Exile: Expedition on July 23.

Expedition expansion adds a new event where players can bomb artifact sites to obtain equipment. Entrusted by Kalguur, players will place traps along the ground to dig for loot and other artifacts. But these explosions also caused the ancient Kalgur to rise from the tomb and fight back. Players can also use explosives to blow up walls and find secrets, or dig treasure chests to get better loot. Once the player has the artifact, they can bargain with Kalguur to get more loot. Players need to strike a balance between making deals and NPCs that don't provoke them.

Grinding Gear Games has also made many major changes to Expedition. Players will get 19 new skills and support gems. This will provide players with more ways to build characters, even outside of the new expedition mode. The studio will also redesign the game's Flask system, which previously forced players to repeatedly tap keys with their fingers. The developers say that before the change, some players even created homemade devices to help press multiple keys at the same time.

All these additions are accompanied by many nerfs, which may cause divisions in the community. Grinding Gear Games is launching a new initiative to make the path of exile more difficult, starting with Buy POE Currency. Finally, the studio announced Path of Exile: Return of the Royal, which is a battle royale mode in popular action games.
