Path of Exile: Sentinel Expansion Announced

Path of Exile will get a new expansion entitled Sentinel. It will introduce a number of changes, but the creators pay most attention to the ancient guardians - Sentinels.

Developers have published a short trailer for the upcoming expansion to the popular hack'n'slash.

Sentinel challenge

Along with the release of the expansion will come the Sentinel challenge league. The goal will be to find the Sentinels and then use their unique powers. After being introduced to the battlefield, the Sentinels will attack our enemies. Then the challenge will start - the Sentinels' attacks will strengthen the enemies they have taken as their target.

In the game we will encounter three classes of "companions":

• Stalker Sentinels - will follow the character for about 30 seconds and reinforce enemies as they appear.
• Pandemonium Sentinels - will be able to reinforce multiple enemies at once.
• Apex Sentinels - will significantly reinforce only rare or unique enemies.

• changes to the Archnemesis league,

• changes to the Atlas passive skill tree,
• new content and features,
