Blight has come to Path of Exile on consoles

Grinding Gear Games have announced that Blight, the latest expansion for Path of Exile has arrived on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, having already released on PC and now you must stop the spread of the deadly Blight by building towers to defend against monsters held in its thrall.

Sister Cassia is trying to stop the spread of the mind-controlling Blight by destroying Fungal Growths. When attacked, the Blight commands infected monsters to defend it. The monsters mindlessly follow the Blight's tendrils, only attacking foes directly in their path. The infected are unusually tough, so you'll need to build defensive towers to exploit each monster's specific weaknesses. For each tendril lane you defend, a chest will appear with your rewards.

As with all Path of Exile expansions, Blight introduces a wide selection of new skills, items and balance changes.including significant revamps to a few key character archtypes; the Necromancer, the Poison Assassin and the Mine Saboteur.
