Path of Exile’s Prophecy launch gives grinders an even bigger challenge

I have a prophecy for Path of Exile players — you’ve got some new challenges ahead of ya.

Publisher Grinding Gear Games released its Content Update 2.3.0 today. This drop includes both Standard and Hardcore versions of Path of Exile’s Prophecy Challenge League. And it wouldn’t be much of an action-role-playing game if it didn’t include more loot, skills, and other things to tackle. In its March rankings, market research firm SuperData pegged Path of Exile at No. 19 in the worldwide free-to-play massively multiplayer online game market, with 16 million active players. Content pushes such as this are essential to keeping people playing — and paying — in the $99.6 billion worldwide game market.
