We've just released the Curse of the Allflame Mystery Box, a new mystery box with no duplicate microtransactions!

There are 56 microtransactions (including variations) that you can find in the Curse of the Allflame Mystery Box. Many of these microtransactions have a varying number of thematic variations, and you'll never receive a duplicate copy of a variation that you have already opened. For example, if you open one variant of a microtransaction, you may later receive another variant, but you'll never get a duplicate!

From stunning Armour Sets and Portal Effects to an all-new Hideout and Otterly irresistible pets, there's plenty to discover! Check out the Mystery Box showcase in the video below or at pathofexile.com/mysterybox.

Dive into the ocean depths in Path of Exile 1: Curse of the Allflame today. The new expansion introduces the formidable corsair captain Valerie and her cursed navigator Vesper in search of forgotten treasures hidden deep beneath the ocean floor. By assembling scattered Charts, boarding the legendary vessel The Sovereign, and descending in the Allflame-powered Bathysphere, players will explore dangerous Voyage expeditions where valuable relics, fearsome sea creatures and long-lost secrets await.

The expansion debuts the new Voyage league mechanic and Allflame Crafting system, welcomes the Mercenaries of Trarthus as a permanent core feature alongside the Scion's new Luminary Ascendancy, and delivers sweeping improvements across character progression and the endgame. Players can experience redesigned socket and spellcasting systems, explore Atlas Anomalies inspired by iconic Path of Exile mechanics, and tackle extensive endgame overhauls to the Abyss and Legion.

Launching alongside the expansion are the new Plague and Remidus Supporter Packs, featuring a collection of exclusive cosmetic effects, armour sets, hideouts, pets and more, with all cosmetics fully compatible with Path of Exile 2: https://www.pathofexile.com/purchase

Path of Exile 1: Curse of the Allflame will launch on PC and Console soon! In this news post, we’ve gathered all the information you need to know about what happens on launch day and how to start downloading early.

Realms will go down at: Jul 25, 2026 2:00 AM (GMT+8) and patching will begin shortly after.

The servers go live for PC and Console at: Jul 25, 2026 4:00 AM (GMT+8)

The above times are displayed in your local time zone. You’ll need to be logged into your account to see these. To change your local time, go to “My Account”, “Manage Account” and “Edit Preferences”.

If the timezone is displaying incorrectly for you, please disregard the above timer and refer to the countdown on the front page. Three hours before the end of the countdown, the realm will go down and patching will begin shortly after. When the countdown ends, the servers will be live and you'll be able to join the Allflame League.

The patch size for the update will be around 13GB on the standalone client and 12GB on Steam. We've also made a torrent available for this update which is around 65GB.

This torrent only includes the GGPK file, so you’ll need to copy it into your actual install folder once the patching server is up, no earlier than three hours before Path of Exile 1: Curse of the Allflame launches. Please note that you can’t use this GGPK file with the Steam client, Epic client or macOS.

Stand out in this League Start with the new Plague and Remidus Supporter Packs. If you were planning to grab the Curator of Wisdom and Iron Incarcerator Supporter Packs, this is your last chance to do so.

In case you still haven’t decided which build to play, we're currently running a water-themed sale which might inspire your league start. Otherwise check out the Class subsection on the forum for suggestions from the community. Many of our community streamers are also providing build guides on YouTube!

We can’t wait to see your adventures in the dangerous waters of Wraeclast. See you at the launch!
