Path of Exile: Synthesis is out now for PC and Xbox One

Grinding Gear Games has announced that Path Of Exile has expanded today, with the release of its first expansion. The content, Synthesis, is out now for Xbox One and PC, with the PlayStation 4 release happening later in March.

In Path of Exile: Synthesis, players will meet Cavas and help him recover his lost memories by fighting their way through them. Chaining these memories together will provide valuable rewards, new crafting opportunities, and deadly boss fights.

"We expect that 2019 will be the biggest year in Path of Exile history, starting with the launch of Synthesis in March," commented Chris Wilson, managing director of Grinding Gear Games. "More exciting news is coming soon including details about the inaugural ExileCon convention this November!"

Path of Exile: Synthesis also introduces two new spellcasting archetypes to the game, the Holy and Chaos casters, along with a host of new spells such as Divine Ire, Purifying Flame, Wave of Conviction and Soulrend.

With a fresh economy and new mechanics, the Synthesis Challenge League is ideal for existing, returning, and brand-new players to experience the award-winning gameplay Path of Exile has to offer.

Cavas' memories can be combined to synthesize dangerous and unstable new areas that players can run for valuable rewards. Players will discover many strategies for combining memories for maximum rewards, including challenging boss encounters and their valuable treasures.
