Let The Trials Begin: Path Of Exile’s Trial Of The Ancestors Launches Today

Today, in about four hours, players of Grinding Gear Games’ Path of Exile will start exploring the game’s next content update, Trial of the Ancestors. The game will go down at noon Central time to allow the devs to implement the new content. It’s scheduled to be down for three hours, coming back up at 3:00 PM Central.

The update will vary in size depending on how players opt to download it. If you’re using the standalone client or Steam and Epic, you’re looking at 7 GB. Of course, you have to wait until the downtime is over in order to download it.

If you’d rather download the content ahead of time, you can torrent the GGPK file. This won’t work with Steam, Epic, or the macOS. It’s also a much bigger file, at 36.9 GB, and there will still be some files to be downloaded once the maintenance is over. Information on how to obtain the torrent can be found on the Path of Exile site.
