Kakao Games announced that it will update Path of Exile with its Season 24 new league, 'Covens of Umbra,' on November 14. This update includes a new character progression system and an endgame content overhaul.
Developed by Grinding Gear Games and published by Kakao Games, Path of Exile is a hack-and-slash PC online game. Set against the backdrop of witch covens in the Umbra region who have been in conflict for hundreds of years, the new league has players face off against the powerful Coven Queen.
In the endgame, the update introduces the 'Threads of Creation' system, which allows players to select and empower their preferred league content. This feature lets players grow their characters around key content such as 'Abyss,' 'Blight,' and 'Legion'. The 'Atlas Passive Skill Tree' has also been completely revamped, expanding interactions between existing league mechanics. Additionally, the 'Mirage' league has been integrated into core content.
The 'Fate' system, at the core of the new league, utilizes special powers obtained by defeating coven minions. Players can combine collected Fates to earn additional rewards.
For character progression, the 'Wicker Man' system is introduced. By equipping items obtained from defeating bosses onto the Wicker Man, players can utilize those bosses' abilities. Depending on the tier and effects of each equipment slot, players can employ a variety of combat styles.
Detailed information regarding Path of Exile's new league, Covens of Umbra, can be found on the official website and YouTube channel.
