The fourth and largest Path of Exile expansion this year, Conquerors of the Atlas, launches very soon! We're greatly looking forward to seeing you explore the new Atlas and fight dangerous shapeshifters in the Metamorph Challenge League. As usual, in this news post we've gathered all the information you need to know about the launch and also have included a torrent file if you'd like to start downloading the expansion early.

The realm goes down and patching begins at: Dec 13, 2019 12:00 PM (EST)
The servers go live at: Dec 13, 2019 3:00 PM (EST)

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. When the countdown ends, the servers will be live and you'll be able to join the Metamorph League!

The patch size for the update will be around 5GB on the standalone client and 12GB on Steam. We've also made a torrent available for this update. Please keep in mind that this method, while available earlier, makes it a larger update as it includes all the existing client content. When patching begins for Path of Exile: Conquerors of the Atlas you'll also have a few remaining files that you'll need to update to.

You can find the torrent here. 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: Conquerors of the Atlas launches. Please note that you can't use this GGPK file with the Steam client.

Path of Exile: Conquerors of the Atlas on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 will launch at Dec 16, 2019 4:00 PM (EST) or at 1pm December 16th (PDT). Downtime will begin for deployment at Dec 16, 2019 2:00 PM (EST) or at 11am December 16th.

If you're looking for some extra character slots for your account for launch weekend, we're running a sale on these right now! Additionally, this is your last chance to get Carnival Mystery Boxes! It will leave the store when our next mystery box enters the store! Keep in mind that if you haven't taken advantage of it yet, it's still possible to get a free Carnival Mystery Box when you spend any amount of points in the store. NOTE: this is only possible once per account. Additional purchases do not grant additional mystery boxes. If you need some extra points, we recommend checking out the Metamorph supporter packs.

The times displayed in the post are wrong for Brazil. They show as 1 hour later than they actually are going to be according to the countdown. Maybe this has something to do with the fact that we were supposed to be in daylight saving time in Brazil at the moment, but our president decided we shouldn't have daylight saving this year.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines. Do you like gladiator movies?
