Path of Exile
Announcing Path of Exile: Crucible
Watch the Crucible Livestream Soon!
In case you missed it, make sure you check out the teaser video below!
What time does it start?
The livestream will start at 12pm PDT on March 30th. If in doubt, check out the countdown on the front page of our website.
What can I expect?
We'll start the livestream by revealing the trailer for Path of Exile: Crucible, followed by a deep dive into all of the new content and features that are being introduced in the expansion.
Following the reveals, ZiggyD will join Chris Wilson live for a Q&A with questions from Twitch chat. The entire livestream, including the Q&A, will most likely be just over an hour long.
Will Twitch Drops be enabled?
Yes, Twitch Drops for the Sphinx Wings will be enabled from the start of the livestream until 9pm PDT for all channels streaming Path of Exile during that time.
You will get the Sphinx Wings after 45 minutes of accumulated watch time on any channel streaming Path of Exile during the event. This means that the drop is guaranteed for everyone who has watched any Path of Exile stream for this amount of time. This promotion is available for all accounts.
To ensure you don't miss out on the drop, we recommend checking that your Twitch and Path of Exile accounts are linked. For more information on linking your Twitch and Path of Exile accounts, click here.
Where can I view the reveals if I miss the livestream?
Our regular announcement page will unlock once information has been revealed on the livestream. Keep an eye on the news forum as well for additional information following the livestream. The announcement will also be available on our YouTube channel following the livestream.
See you there!
We can't wait to share our next expansion with you!
The Polarity Group SSF Event is Live!
Polarity Group SSF Event
- League Completion Criteria: Have three level 90 players in the same instance
- Based on: Standard (Sanctum/Ruthless/Hardcore all disabled)
- Accounts Allowed in League: 6
- End date: End date: 3pm April 4th PDT
- Platforms: PC only
In this event, both monsters and players have "polarity", which is randomly allocated between two values. You can only harm monsters that are the same polarity as you. Rare and Unique monsters swap their polarity when they reach low life. It will require players to cooperate in groups of at least two in order to be able to clear areas and bosses.
To join the event, click the banner for Polarity Group SSF Event in the bottom right of the Character Select screen once you've logged into the game. This will take you to the Private League creation page of the Path of Exile website, where you can create your own Polarity Group SSF Private League for free! Once you've created your Polarity Group SSF Private League, don't forget to invite some friends!
Prizes
The prizes for this event are exclusive trophy statues that can be displayed in your hideouts.
- Legend's Hideout Statue for Group Rank #1
- Champion's Hideout Statue for Group Rank #2
- Victor's Hideout Statue for Group Rank #3
- Challenger's Hideout Statue for Group Ranks #4-10
The prizes will be awarded based on the time taken to have three level 90 players in the same instance. The time is counted from when you make the league, not from when the event starts. Your group can have as many shots as you want while the event is live, and don't have to be playing at exactly the same time as the people you're competing against. At the end of the event, whichever group has the best time is the winner. The prizes will be distributed after all the events have ended (in April).
You can find the ladder for the Polarity Group SSF Event here.
You can also find all the ladders for March's events here.
Good luck to everyone participating!

The Krangled Passives Group SSF Event is Live!
Krangled Passives Group SSF Event
- League Completion Criteria: Kill both Searing Exarch and Eater of Worlds
- Based on: Standard (Sanctum/Ruthless/Hardcore all disabled)
- Accounts Allowed in League: 6
- End date: End date: 2pm March 28th PDT
- Platforms: PC and Console
The Passive Skill Tree and all Ascendancy Trees are jumbled. Minor passive skills, notables, keystones, minor ascendancy skills and major ascendancy skills have been internally scrambled within those categories (so a notable passive is still a notable passive, just a random one). Mastery locations are Krangled, but their options are not. All players have the same trees.
You can only see properties of passive or Ascendancy skills that are adjacent to ones you have allocated.
This event prompts some interesting strategies. Can your party work out what builds or Ascendancy choices are the best in this new crazy meta? Will you share that information with other players? Will you send some members ahead and then restart characters once there's a good build plan?
On Console realms, which don't yet support Group SSF, this event will be run as a regular solo SSF event.
To join the event, click the banner for Krangled Passives Group SSF Event in the bottom right of the Character Select screen once you've logged into the game. This will take you to the Private League creation page of the Path of Exile website, where you can create your own Krangled Passives Group SSF Private League for free! Once you've created your Krangled Passives Group SSF Private League, don't forget to invite some friends!
Prizes
The prizes for this event are exclusive trophy statues that can be displayed in your hideouts.
- Legend's Hideout Statue for Group Rank #1
- Champion's Hideout Statue for Group Rank #2
- Victor's Hideout Statue for Group Rank #3
- Challenger's Hideout Statue for Group Ranks #4-10
The prizes will be awarded based on the time taken to kill both Searing Exarch and Eater of Worlds. The time is counted from when you make the league, not from when the event starts.
