The action RPG Path of Exile was actually supposed to be released on PS4 in December. However, that’s not going to happen. Find out here why the game is postponed to next year on PlayStation 4.
Here’s why Path of Exile won’t come out in December: Originally, the critically acclaimed free-to-play alternative to Diablo 3 was set to launch on December 7, 2018 for PlayStation 4. But now there’s bad news for all fans: According to the developers, the December launch won’t happen.
They simply underestimated the workload required for the necessary certification process.
Too much Christmas stress: This workload seems impossible to manage appropriately during the stressful pre-Christmas season. Therefore, they apologize for the delay and hope to finally release the game on PlayStation 4 in January 2019.
Fans show understanding
The news about the postponement of Path of Exile on PlayStation 4 naturally didn’t make the players on that console happy. Many would have liked to play the game along with the new update Betrayal over the Christmas holidays with their friends.
Is Sony to blame? However, the criticism seemed primarily directed at Sony. They felt that the developers at Grinding Gear Games had done everything right, and it was only the certification process at Sony that was delayed over the Christmas period.
Others speculate that there may have been a few serious bugs and glitches that they wouldn’t want in a release version.
In any case, most players agree: Better late and done properly than early and full of bugs!
Big update Betrayal is expected
However, the launch of the new expansion Betrayal remains unchanged, which is still set to be released on December 7, 2018, for PC and on December 10 for Xbox One. In it, you will face an evil crime syndicate and must eliminate the boss’s henchmen by force or cunning.
