The Furious Hideout is our newest hideout, set in the boss arena of Kaom’s Stronghold. Surrounded by a moat of lava, the hideout offers a great base for red or volcano themed designs. With its Karui carvings featured on the ground and around the lava falls, the hideout also looks great without any additional decorating. To see it in detail you can check out our video below, or purchase it here.If you are considering doing some redecorating, you could try using some Sin Cathedral Decorations and the Dark Mural Tile Decoration to make a dark altar to some evil god. Thank you for your support! Read more

A new development year has begun, the holidays are over and our team is back at full capacity. With a busy year ahead, we wanted to give you an update on what the plan is for Path of Exile's development in 2020. This year we will release four expansions (3.10.0 - 3.13.0) on our usual quarterly schedule. The first of these, 3.10.0, will probably be announced in late February. The timing of the expansions may vary by a week or two from last year's ones, as we work around various holidays/events and make sure that the bigger ones have enough time to be fully tested.Development on 4.0.0 continues, with the team hard at work on content that wasn't shown in the ExileCon Act One Demo. We expect that the next time we'll show significantly new content and features will probably be in the middle of this year. Maybe around E3? We'll let you know once we have a firm plan locked in. We mentioned at ExileCon that the earliest we could run a public beta would be... Read more
