Path of Exile: Synthesis comes on the heels of Grinding Gear Games’ best expansion

Path of Exile’s players enjoy betrayal  — so much so that they made Betrayal a landmark expansion for the online role-playing game. And now Grinding Gear Games is ready to synthesize that goodwill for its next expansion.

During a recent media briefing, general manager and cofounder Chris Wilson broke down how players behave around expansions. All this was in advance of Synthesis, Path of Exile’s most recent expansion. He reiterated that Betrayal is Path of Exile’s most successful expansion, with nearly 200,000 concurrent players. This doesn’t even include those playing in China or Taiwan or on the Xbox One.
